Solar party was last week. On Oct 18, 2014 2:43 PM, "John M. Craig" <jmcraig@xmission.com> wrote:
I was hoping to make the solar party today, but too much work to do. But I set up my Lunt 80mm H-a scope and just went out for a look occasionally. I happened to catch a flare (appears it was near AR 2192--assuming I'm oriented correctly on the diagrams).
In any case, I hope people at the solar party were still set up and a lot of folks got to see it. I haven't had the Lunt even for a month and I caught a flare--very, uh, cool, I guess ;-)
I was observing through thin and occasionally thicker clouds--the 80mm aperture really is great for suboptimal conditions.
