Going by the 20:00 values, technically 2023-11-28, but I'm pretty sure that was due to a big flare. Last time before that was 2023-07-18, with an observed flux of 218.5 and adjusted flux of 225.7. Haven't checked if that was from any flaring though, and I guess it gets tricky if one is to discount various levels of C-flaring that happen frequently and often continuously near and after maximum. Before that was 2023-07-13, not long before, at 202.9 observed and 209.7 adjusted. Here are all the dates in SC25 with either observed or adjusted flux above 200, with no regards to whether flaring was occurring or not: Quote ['20220331', '0239.5', '0239.0'] ['20220828', '0251.9', '0257.0'] ['20230112', '0211.6', '0204.7'] ['20230113', '0208.5', '0201.7'] ['20230114', '0227.8', '0220.4'] ['20230115', '0234.3', '0226.7'] ['20230116', '0228.1', '0220.7'] ['20230117', '0221.7', '0214.6'] ['20230118', '0220.3', '0213.2'] ['20230119', '0226.1', '0218.9'] ['20230120', '0217.5', '0210.6'] ['20230121', '0208.7', '0202.1'] ['20230209', '0214.9', '0209.1'] ['20230210', '0207.8', '0202.3'] ['20230211', '0209.5', '0204.1'] ['20230217', '0343.1', '0335.0'] ['20230225', '0279.3', '0273.7'] ['20230711', '0213.5', '0220.6'] ['20230713', '0202.9', '0209.7'] ['20230718', '0218.5', '0225.7'] ['20231128', '0254.6', '0247.8'] ['20240212', '0208.3', '0203.0'] Observed on the left, adjusted on the right. Apparently no dates where either observed or adjusted was under 200 while the other was over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamateur 1953 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) Been awhile. @Miles We did crack it unofficially a few weeks ago however at the last NRC posting. Things are only going to continue to improve as we approach solar max. Expect dips below 150 occasionally. No biggie. Hopefully the link below works for you. Us radio amateurs use the far left column which is observed flux at ground level. NRC canada checks three times daily and usually uses local noon or 20:00 utc figures as they did today. Scroll down until ya see 208. You will also see 211 which was at 22:00 hours. Have fun! Mike. 1 hour ago, Miles said: SFI at 208!

Solar_Marcel Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Fun fact... The incoming region looks very complex I will make another stretches picture in zhe afternoon, when im at home again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamateur 1953 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I am hoping y’all are talking about the massive loop producer on the limb. According to Solar Soft anyway, we probably have at least two nice regions up there. The loop producer is high latitude estimated at around North 27 degrees. The lower latitude one around 12-13 degrees and I think seems to be coming in just ahead or just arriving. With all the activity there, we may even have more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamateur 1953 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Yeah, I agree unfortunately. Just looked now. It seems pretty barren incoming north. Well, both regions have to arrive sometime. Haha…… Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha…… Mike Hopefully there will be something coming... @hamateur 1953 now i can see something on the limb very high latitude-ish, hopefully this turns in and reveals itself as a nice deltaaic region which shoots off one or the other nice X flare, but i hold my hopes down for the moment beeing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar_Marcel Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) barely can make out one spot on the limb... hopefully nothing dissappointing but looks like thats the source of all the loops Edited February 13 by Solar_Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 looks pretty big on magnetogram so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar_Marcel Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) ok. now... there is a BIG spot coming oh my goooooooooood can you see that? (the indentation) Edit: hopefully, that is infact a spot and not an image error, i would be standing dumb here Edited February 13 by Solar_Marcel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapphire828 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Looks like this is the remnants of AR 3559. http://jsoc.stanford.edu/data/farside/Recent/Movie.gif It was going over the limb about Jan. 29th and let off the M6.8 flare https://spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=29&month=01&year=2024 @Solar_Marcel Could it really be that big?

Solar_Marcel Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) in the HMIIC picture there you can see one big spot now, but iu think there is something behind that as well sadly cant attach the picture for some reason Edited February 14 by Solar_Marcel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar_Marcel Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 There seems to be coming more. (Looked at the Magnetogram) https://ibb.co/6YMSf5T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamateur 1953 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Well @Solar_Marcel, I hope that the “ lake of plasma” with its associated loops of glory isn’t spent yet. Honestly, that looong duration M class was staggeringly beautiful to watch in its entirety. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar_Marcel Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) https://ibb.co/1nzRFKG looks promising, first the pool of loops isnt done (im speaking of AR 3586) and somethings also behind the limb thats very bright Edited February 16 by Solar_Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
