Sunspots 4432 and 4436 pose a threat for strong M-class solar flares.

Earth-directed solar flare are increasing possible as sunspot 4436 turns toward our planet. On May 10th (1339 UTC), the active region produced an M5.7-class solar flare, which blew a massive hole in the sun's atmosphere. And both Sunspots 4432 and 4436 pose a threat for strong M-class solar flares.

103mm Jagers refractor, Badder Planetarium safety prism, using neutral tensity and a solar continuum filter, Losmandy GM-8 mount. Cannon 80D camera. 650 FL 20mm eye piece. I am proud of this dedicated solar telescope as I made it myself around a used Jagers objective lens, bought on e-bay that had damaged coatings. A Moon Lite focuser, a Baader Planetarium Herschal Wedge. It has become my favorite telescope for sunspots!
