Today was a beautiful day. The sky was clear, the birds were singing and the sun was shining bright.
I decided to take a look at our star with the Coronado P.S.T. There were not so many sunspots visible, but the prominences were very spectacular.
When looking through the telescope, three huge ‘flares’ were visible at the right side of the sun.

Thanks for watching!
