[Repost with correct files]. Active Region 4341, dominant on Sun these days, catched on Jan17 producing a spectacular impulsive M2 flare with associated eruption (not a CME) (the same region also produced the X2 flare the following day). Since the Sun was low on horizon I had non-ideal conditions (seeing 2/5, transparency 2/5) and I had to pause the timelapses when the Sun passed behind some obstacles. However I was lucky that this event happened in the only hour I see the Sun from my city balcony in this season. The second timelapse is less fluid but at the end it shows the associated eruption of plasma (the black lines). The two final images show the region producing a C flare and the other main regions. Lunt60 HA scope, Neptune-M camera.
