I wonder if it's some mistake, as I certainly saw it shine brightly on the north limb Not sure where you see that, it's definitely from the incoming limb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tniickck Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) obviously a mistake, idk how the computer defined it to 3368 instead of 3372 Edited July 11, 2023 by tniickck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philalethes Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Just now, Ester89 said: I saw it here. I notice now that it also says 6.7 and not 6.83, there must be something I'm not understanding It's definitely just an error somewhere in the data pipeline where the flare was misattributed. As for why it says M6.7 instead of M6.8, my best guess is that it's using the values from the GOES-18 satellite rather than the larger of the two, which is from GOES-16 in this case; there are typically some minor differences between them which can be caused by differences in location or even in the measurement instruments. GOES-18 is the newer one (launched just last year vs. 2016 for GOES-16), and thus likely considered more reliable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Now we have another incoming region producing It's first M-flare, I love this spurt of activity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that might be the first signs of the long-awaited return of 3354. Position and timing seems to check out. And yeah, this latest flurry of activity has been great, really kicked things up a notch for the time being. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurizio Marsigli Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 at 10.00 UTC, with a Lunt50ds, I saw a Spot and bright little eruptions. Also to me, looking at the magnetograms, the polarity seemed reversed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamateur 1953 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) Any action welcomed particularly cmes. Wow I need more sleep. Perseids due to peak in two weeks in case others have forgotten as well as me! Edit. I was looking at 131 angstrom pic of southern incoming.

hamateur 1953 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) I think you are absolutely correct. Especially as I have one of my eyes of solar flux at all times and it is heading back up. Couple this with a nice white mess on what I affectionately call “ the green screen “ on far left it is lookin’ good indeed! PS.

tniickck Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 is there a topic for appearing from nowhere regions? if there is, send me please, i will post it there, but for now i will write there: this region appeared for like 12 hours ago and for last 3 hours it has grown quite well, so I would keep an eye on that one it grows on the "ruins" of 3376,so it has where to grow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others might disagree though, and it's primarily been for regions coming over the limb, so it might be better to either just create a new topic for it or wait until it becomes active enough to warrant that. As for this one, time will tell if it turns out well or not; seems to me like we've entered a somewhat calm period after the X-flares, the SN has dropped down quite low too. Hopefully a calm before the storm, would be nice with some good activity this fall and winter as we keep approaching maximum.
