Hello Guys,

Finally got a good break in the cloud. I was just able to image the AR10656 region and 2 flares erupted!! It's amazing to watch a flare in action because it really brightens and dims in a matter of seconds. I was able to see flashes on the flare! Something no picture can show!

This was imaged using a Solarmax 60 on an AP130EDF refractor. Toucam was used as imager.

Regards,

Chris

Here's another image of the flare today. It has been identified as a M2.8 Flare. I have included an edge prominence detail!

Regards,

Chris
