Sorry for my inexperience. I have been imaging the Sun in H alpha recently and very recently
Yesterday I published this post on my FB page in which I described the vision of a double spiral jet, in opposite directions (I am attaching it here - google t translation):
"Spectacular observation in H Alpha of a jet, near the solar edge, which projects upwards (for an eye-and-cross height three times the diameter of the Earth), separating into two spiral jets projected in two different directions The image was 3D, as the jet was prospectively ahead of the solar edge, the apical part silhouetted against the black sky.
FC100DL, daystar Quark Chromosphere. Here you can see the plume on the left, but the image does not render perfectly what I saw at higher magnification "
Only today, with the suggestion of an amateur on a forum, I realized something important. Yesterday, imaging with the Takahashi FC100DL, the Daystar Chromosphere and an ASi 178mm, I probably shot a Solar Flare. It would be the jet that I described in a special post at 11:31 yesterday on my Fb page and in some forum.
I am attaching a photo of the same area taken just before at 10:46 am where the double spiral jet that I described in the post is not present.
Unfortunately, I no longer find the original recording that I will have deleted in the transfer from PC to HD, but having published the post at 11:31, I deduce that the flare occurred around 11:00. If any expert can give me confirmation. Now in the meantime I see myself again in case I have just caught the exact moment.

Re: wau a FLARE??
Was this today, the 25th or yesterday the 24th? I got two areas visually today that were near the limb on opposite sides of the disc that looked like small bright points with surge prominences. I will post the report later this evening. I also got a C-Class flare that is associated with AR12917.

Nice images!
Have you applied a Flat Field to these images?

Re: wau a FLARE??
What a sight!!! amazing
According to the records there was a C3.57 at 10:20 UTC and a C5.24 at 12:10UTC
There will of course be activity for around 30mins from the peak too. I'm not sure if your 11am is local Italian time? in which case it could be the 10:20UTC one
