Details:
I was imaging the Sun this afternoon when a huge flash of light emanated all around Sunspot group AR2297, it was just this incredibly brilliant flash…I kept taking pictures and video until it started to quieten down. The flare began at about 2.50pm AEST or 04.50am UT…it was a very exciting event to witness :-)
Images taken with a Lunt 80mm solar telescope with a Canon 700D camera and 5x barlow lens. Exposures were 1/80th second and ISO 400. Twenty images stacked in Registack6 and processed lightly in PS CS4. The monochrome image was taken with the same telescope and camera but with a 2x barlow lens for a winder view.
