Description

G'Day all,

We have had days of rain to be followed yesterday and today by all sky covering Cirrus clouds. This made animating the Sun somewhat problematic and processing likewise, as you can see in the pics.  No matter, I soldiered on and imaged through the least affected sky after midday to present this animation obtained UT 2024/02/22 02:11 to 04:20 (my time 22nd February 12:11pm to 02:20pm).  Many images were cloud affected and promptly discarded.  I missed the earlier X & M class flares and of course the hours later 2nd X Class flare.  My good friend Ralph living some 900km SW of me (or 10 hrs drive) had super clear skies and collected many hours of data with the early flares. Something to look forward to as he also posts on Astrobin. 
AR3590 has truly become a monster!

Thanks for looking!
Peter
