So this is my second image of our sun with my new solar setup. I believe the seeing conditions were much better than the previous day which made the flare appear sharper. It is not as sharp as I had hoped but it is still better. I am still playing around with various processing methods as well. Also, When trying to get the Sun in the frame, make sure the lower cap is off the Quark. I spent 20 minutes trying to find the Sun - thinking the Quark is broke - before I saw the somewhat melted plastic cover on the bottom of the Quark.
I believe Earth would be about half the size of the flare, maybe smaller. I will work on finding more exact references in the future.
