Hi Alfred

days occur during the early morning
only.Must had been a difficult catch.

Thanks for your kind words. Yes, it was difficult to catch the Sun on 23 July. I started watching it from 7:30 am. The gap came after it went past 12 noon. This was how the mount looked when the flaring took place
The seeing condition was terrible. The video looked like boiling. And to make it even worst, I was trying how it look with a 5x barlow. I didn't want to change back to 3x barlow because the flares looked so fascinating and I just carried on with the videoing until the clouds covered the whole sky. Regretted not getting the end part of the flare but I was very glad to have caught it!!
