      Solar footage captured with my telescope using the Daystar Quark Chromosphere Filter. At the bottom there is an earth for scale and timer to see the passage of time.

      If you liked this, there’s more on my channel. A like and sub would mean a lot!

      If i had the money i would love to get into this type of thing, often look at the stars at night and think there has to be more out there it gives me goosebumps

      Is it often you can capture images like this? I know next to nothing on this type of solar event. I know some flares are strong enough to mess up electric grids. But have no idea on relative size compared to this one. Not sure on spots.
