2015 Mar 10 Sun - Flare from AR12297

PTS

I was able to capture ~5000 images this morning before the cold front arrives.
A strong flare erupts from AR12297 around 11 am.

Unfortunately, my FS2 drive controller broke down last week and I have no motor drive on my mount!  I have to "centre" the Sun by pushing the polar axis manually by hand while working with efl=5580 mm !

stopped to 50 mm for disc images, with 4X telecentric lens (f/36) for closeups

North is up, and east to the left.
