H-a solar flare about 30 mins ago near AR 2192
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.
