WOW - Brightest flare I've ever seen in nearly a decade of Ha viewing - check it out now on east limb. May even be visible in white light!   It appears as a brilliant white star-like point at low magnification - pic below

Here's a better tweaked shot that matches the EP view

Cheers for the heads up, just grabbed a quick look and it sure pops when in the sweet spot.
