Our star was looking absolutely fantastic today with loads of activity. A great set of proms was visible on the suns eastern limb indicating more active regions are on the way around in the coming days. Just about all of the active regions on show have been showing some minor flare activity over the last 24 hours. This is a 6 pane mosaic taken with the 70mm PST mod at 500mm focal length with the DMk31 .
