Here is a comparison of the flare location from yesterday, and the C3 from half hour ago.. appears to be 2 different spots.

different latitude location.

You got that one spot on, Kev. There is indeed two spots:

Edit: deleted image as it doesn't show two spots now, but there are definetly two in view if you look at other current sun images.

Also, a nice little C3 flare just occured 5 mins ago

We are still cooking then!

I think the current Kp rise is due to the coronal hole and not 940 and it's new companion. I doubt if the Kp will go above 6 for the moment but I'm charging up the camera batteries just in case http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

Me too frogesque http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

Clear here - bit of cloud to the west - but would not be a bad evening to pop up Arthur's Seat!

EDIT: KP7 next?!

Something wrong with the solar wind speed readings and magnetic field. No data - so dunno how fast the wind is now or if the Bz component is tilting or not. http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

I think its something to do with the sensors becoming charged Monds..

edit.. its working now.. http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

Looks to be another biggie on the far side turning this way. CME over the horizon yesterday but turning around to face us this week. Valentine's Aurora anyone?
