 Quite
            a few sunspot groups finally! Seeing was so bad yesterday with
            a high pressure front moving in, I had to shut down. Today, seeing
            is a bit better, but still pretty shaky. But I did capture a
            flare in action...

 Halpha:

            
Lets start
            with the full disk. Plenty of action here! 

            


            
 

            
The proms
            only view however showed very little.

Sunspot on
            right started flaring and lasted about two minutes. I captured
            it in one image below!

            


            
 

            
 

            


            
 

            
 

            


            
 

            
 

            


            
 

            
Flaring sunspot!
            that is the bright white area. The disk is dim here to not blow
            out the flare too much.

            


            
 

            


            
 

            
Finally, look
            at the active area in the Red Wing of Halpha. This is 3/4 A off
            band. Shows the material from the flare moving away quickly from
            the spot group.
