Entrant Statement: "Solar Storm" On 8th June 2024 I photographed with my solar telescope the active region AR 3697, heir to the active region AR 3664, which in the month of May produced several class X flares, also producing auroras/SAR visible from Italy. It's always exciting to image these solar storms, especially in h-halpha, where you can clearly see the interactions between the sun's magnetic fields.
