Solar Flare - Sep 24, 2021

We had some nice solar activity this year with the virtual AATB sessions, first day was clear and productive and the second day was not very clear but we still ended up with a good educational session, links are below if you are interested.

Anyway before the beginning of the first day's session there was a very active sunspot that I decided to capture for presentational reasons in case the second day was cloudy, I ended up with 177 videos to stack and process and it was a beautiful flare that escaped the sun's gravity.

Each video was 2000 frames where I stacked 20% and aligned, enhanced and created the video using PixInSight and PIPP. The video is in the below link

As usual my setup is:
Lunt60THa with custom auto focuser and pressure tuner telescope
Televue 2.5x barlow
ZWO ASI174MM Camera
iOptron CEM25P Mount
