Supernova Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 I have just been looking at my charts and Saturn will be up in the south sky here very soon. 1/12/2010. South at 05:40 alt 18deg so could be up to take a good pic. Also Jupiter is in the south/west here at 1/12/2010 17:30 alt 18deg. You can see them with the naked eye if it twinkles it is a star if NO twinkle then it is a planet, Easy. I will post any pics I get good or bad. Techies, Saturn in vergo, south, next to eta(n) mag +3.9 Saturn mag +0.5 Jupiter in capricornus south/west, mag -2 bright till 31st Jan. Binos will see them with a mag of 30x50 no prob. Bernie.

Supernova Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 This is a shot of a solar flare I took in the summer. These are very unpredictable and it is pure luck to get one, they can last for minutes or hours sometimes you can observe it from Burst to Finnish, this one is a few million miles long and lasted for a few hours. They can upset the satellite communication around Earth. The Earths magnetosphere protects us from the solar winds created by solar flares. At this scale Earth would be about the size of a pin head or smaller.
