Here's a look at the afternoon sun today, from our backyard with a 50 mm/F7 dedicated H-alpha solar telescope. Flare activity jumped to moderate over the past 24 hours, with the production of two M (moderate) flares. The second M flare of the period was from sunspot area AR4078 at 10:02 UTC (2 AM PST). It produced a correspondent R1 (minor) radio blackout over Egypt.
