Spectacular M 5.6 flare today

[BGazing]

Dunno if anyone caught it, I did. Seeing was iffy so I used 40mm for a straw-like experience in Quark. Nevertheless, what a huge magma-like pool of a flare, next to that gigantic AR3014 sunspot group. H-alpha rules and the current cycle seems very very promising.

Just packed away my PST. Have been watching two flares on the limb, a really big one that seemed to eject the top of it and a arched shaped one in the other hemisphere. Plus sunspot group, three more isolated ones and a big filament

Thanks for the heads up. Still very bright and active this afternoon
