Solar Activity

The Sun – AR3697

June 3rd, 2024

Overview

This was my second attempt at building a solar animation! This is from early Saturday morning of AR 3697 and its activity. The animation is made from 30 mins of acquisition time using a sequence of 500 frames every 15 seconds. The weird banding is due to sensor tilt. There were 96 rounds using the best 25% of each set for stacking. The animation loops 5 times but the frame rate is about 10 frames per second.
