Solar Practice 2

So this flare was from Thursday July 2.  It was pretty cool to look at, so good I had to show Alex, my wife.  It pretty much looked like this in the PST.  This image OK but I saw lot of really detailed images of this on are Astrobin.  The video was captured with my old autoguider (QHY-5II) and the PST.  The ASI174 Kit was sent back to OPT so I can exchange it for different stuff.

I did not focus in on the surface but rather the flare itself so I just blacked the surface since there was no detail.  I used SharpCap for capturing, AutoStakkart for stacking the video, and Photoshop for processing.  I really don't know what I am doing just sort of winging it.  I will probably wait until I get the new stuff before doing any more solar imaging.
