I just had wanted to check the equipment for tomorrow's solar eclipse, but was able to observe in H-alpha how the Sun spit out a lot of matter. There was an X flare with a coronal mass ejection. It went sideways and not in the direction of Earth.

Potato quality image with my smartphone through the PST. The red spot is the ejected gas, which has already traveled several 100,000 km away from the Sun (red disk).

Ich wollte eigentlich nur das Equipment für die SoFi morgen checken, durfte dabei aber in H-alpha beobachten, wie die Sonne so richtig was rausgehustet hat. Es gab einen X-Flare mit Materieauswurf, allerdings seitlich weg und nicht in Richtung Erde.

Spontanes Bild mit Smartphone durchs PST. Der rote Fleck ist das ausgeworfene Gas, das schon einige 100.000 km von der Sonne (rote Scheibe) weggeflogen ist.
