Smile Simultaneous Time Lapse Captures M-Class Flare

Hi all,
I had been playing with some software I have written when I noticed a large flare on the solar limb! I quickly enabled my "dual simultaneous time lapse" capability and I was able to make 2 movies of the event at different exposure settings. The poor video quality is due to the afternoon being partially cloudy, this seemed to block out the surface details but I was able to still see the "Hairy Disk" quite clearly despite the occasional cloud cover.

The time lapses where taken between 1315 and 1510. The equipment I used is as follows;
Solar Autoguider
Mod Coronado PST
EQ6
DMK 41

Cheers,
Trent
