The Stupid Astronomer on Instagram: "Footage is a little jumpy but this time lapse is over the course of 4 hours with each frame taken only 10 seconds apart. This new active region is spitting out a steady stream of C class flares and not long after i stopped recording, a large M5 solar flare went off. No loops formed of any significant value, but the material that was cast out, was quickly pulled back down. This active region is well worth keeping an eye on. Fingers crossed, it will produce som

The Stupid Astronomer on Instagram: "It's been a moment since i have been able to capture anything and today did not disappoint. While i didn't get to catch a big boom, the small subtle things became the bigger features. Multiple C class solar flares erupt across the large sunspot region which sent out a massive X class flare a few days back. This is a 5 hour time lapse sped up several times. In certain situations, features can actually move fast enough to be observed in real time, in a more pra

The Stupid Astronomer on Instagram: "The weather is always the determining factor. At least there was a gap in the clouds long enough for me to see #Mars go behind the #Moon Shot with the @skywatcherusa Evostar 152 and a @qhyccd_astrophotography QHY5IIIC 462 OSC camera."

The Stupid Astronomer on Instagram: "It's getting colder here in SoCal but the skies are clear. Great viewing for the @skywatcherusa tcherusa heliostar 76 but not the larger scopes. Atmospheric seeing tends to be bad during the cooler months as the rapid change in heat during the day makes the air turbulent meaning that higher magnification is harder to do. The huge grouping of sun spots is slowly turning away from us but there may be a chance a large flare will be seen accompanied with a Corona

The Stupid Astronomer on Instagram: "Watching the sun this morning but the wind was making it hard to keep the scope tracking the sun. This is a short time lapse at only 2 hours. Shot using a @daystarfilters Gemini and Player One Apollo MAX 428 on a 120mm refractor."
