A Busy October Sun - Sadly No Shots!

The sun has really picked up in activity over the past couple of weeks with several M-class and X-class flares hurling material off into space towards Earth.  Sadly at this time of year i'm limited to when I can image only on weekends, and these in october have either been cloudy or i've had other commitments.  Well this increase in solar looks set to continue which is good news from my perspective as i'm off for a weeks aurora hunting in Iceland.  Stay tuned for any updates of this fascinating interaction of the solar wind on our planets magnetic field and atmosphere!
