M6 Flare Observation

​I can already tell this is going to be a great hobby and it will keep me busy.

While observing this afternoon, around 5:00 (I wasn't keeping track of the time unfortunately), I saw a localized brightening near several prominences.  I was surprised, as the area became nearly white and several minutes later faded back to a deep orange as seen through my Lunt LS60PT​.

​In short order, I posted over at the CN forums and asked if anyone else saw this, and lo and behold, one of the members not only saw it, but managed to image the flare.
