Bradford updated and gave 1654 a 52% for an M and 57% for an X!!

[link to spaceweather.inf.brad.ac.uk]

Sorry, 62% of an M (57% for X is correct)

67%M/69%X
I have never seen it that high.

Here you guys go :)

I wonder if those are based on older images though. Maybe those probabilities are based on imagery from before the M flare earlier.

It was updated about an hour ago (03:30 UTC)

AWESOME!!! Thanks!

I was going to ask you if you filmed it but I just saw the thread you made. So cool!

Woowhoooo, good job Geo, nice to see a little homegrown!!! Can make out filaments and everything, thanks.

Hi Everyone, been offline most of the day, except for checking spaceweather.com couple times. Nin, the sunspot archive link was interesting, had some big spots 1946-1950. Thanks everyone for the excellent work today.

Thanks
