Description

Magnetic flux loops are frequent on the solar disk, but catching one on the limb is not quite so common and is sort of the holy grail for solar imagers. I shot this little guy on June 29th, 2018.

The loop barely lasted 3 minutes and I felt extremely fortunate to have been at the eyepiece with camera ready when it appeared.
