Fengyun 3H which had a bunch of sample drops as I forgot to TRIM the SSD, but my god did it get by far the prettiest view I have received so far

[Cpt. Dingus @Meti172172]

Forgot the depolarizer, but big dish powered through anyways - 12 dB fengyun 3E
Europe is nice and cloudless for the most part, True color should look great tomorrow

Some more NOAA 21 aurorae, absolutely stunning!

[Cpt. Dingus @Meti172172]

Auroras visible on NOAA 21's VIIRS DNB channel. Absolutely stunning display!

[Cpt. Dingus @Meti172172]

NOAA 21, naturally hand tracked

Even though it sucks for scientific use, true color is still a beautiful sight!

Nicely made though

Archival footage of the Buncefield fire, 2005-12-11

I recently saw a documentary on it, wondered what it looked like on SeaWIFs. Rxed by @DundeeSat 6 hours after the blaze started. Processed by SatDump, which naturally supports archival Seastar data (:

Sourced from CEDA archive

Consensus appears to be that we are now in the flux rope, which is pointed strong North. This means the spectacle has pretty much concluded.

In any case, this was a historical storm that allowed me to see auroras for my first time!

Absolutely breathtaking experience (:

[Cpt. Dingus @Meti172172]

Auroras are now visible from Slovakia! Still building up, we're in for a ride (:

[Cpt. Dingus @Meti172172]

@_SpaceWeather_ 7th strongest proton storm, 20400 pfu!

Also, the CME has hit L1!

[Cpt. Dingus @Meti172172]

S4 proton storm, pretty lights incoming?

[Cpt. Dingus @Meti172172]

8th strongest according to @_SpaceWeather_.. so far
