Description

I had been imaging this enormous sunspot group all morning on Thursday (was working from home) that gave us last night's incredible aurora, and after recovering from an unexpected Windows update reboot 🙄, I caught this activity just in time! 😁 I missed the start, but got to watch it develop! This occured in the same time window as the X1.1 solar flare produced by this region. This video spans about 1 hr 20 minutes of real time, with frames 5-15 minutes apart, dodging clouds. It repeats a few times so it's easier to see.
