dramatic solar flare

This dramatic solar flare became even more so when it erupted into space later that day (a great sequence of the event can be seen at spaceweather.com)

5" Zeiss refractor with 90mm Coronado filter and DMK21BF04 webcam. A small number of frames stacked from very turbulent seeing conditions.

Here is a colorized version. Be interested to know which version you like better?

Alan,

Wow!! Spectacular! I like the colour image quite a bit, but the B&W is wonderful too...too close to call for me.

WOW Alan! Thats freakin amazing! I like both versions maybe a slight nod to the colour one but the B&W one might have a touch more faint detail!
Good timing on that one eh? 8)

thanks

Great image. I too imaged the flare with a SM 60 and hand held 10D. However its on someone elses computer but i will get it. It was also quite a sight with the BV'er.

Thanks for your comments, everyone (and for the correction, Chris).

best,
Alan
