Since Stephen went to the Jon Wood Field yesterday, I decided t join him for Solar imaging instead of imaging at home. However, I had to run some errands first. When I arrived just a bit before 1:00 P.M. a huge M8.4 Solar Flare was active in AR1429. My first image was about 10 minutes after the maximum. I than started imaging for an animation. The animation shows a 70 minutes of activity in the AR compresed in a few seconds.  Click the closeup image for the movie
