Description

The monster sunspot from a month ago, the spot formerly know as AR3590 is back and bigger and sparkier than ever. 

A magnetic mess of solar activity, Sunspot 3615  as we refer him now, has rotated back into Earth view. A complex beta-delta-gamma region AR3615 has been flaring his way across the face of the sun and may have contributed, in combination with AR3614, in launching a massive solar storm towards earth MArch 23, 2024.
Watch for Aurora night of March 24 into the 25th, 2024

Imaged with a quark chromosphere solar filter, the Starfield optics102 refractor, and the ZW0174MM camera. Stacked in Autostakkert and processed in IMPPG and Photoshop. (false colour added)
