Hello my friends,
I was lucky enough to capture the image of this very large AR during the flare M4.7 on May-9th. I also did a movie capturing the event from the beginning to the end. The link of the movie in Youtube is below, and the image was taken right in the climax of the emission.

I hope you like it,

Great!

Are you re-focussing during the video, or is that just atmospheric turbulence?

Matt,
Thank you very much for the positive feedback !!

Peter,
Thank you.
No refocusing during the movie. The blurring is just the seeing doing its job.

Best Regards,

Fernando
