The moon went in front of the sun
There were some clouds, but I managed to catch a usable photo or two

Holy shit - that bit at 5 o’clock was a solar flare?!?! I could see that with no magnification whatsoever! Amazing!
It was a prominence, not a flare. A flare escapes the sun’s magnetic field while a prominence does not.
Fair enough. I’m no astro-smith
Flares cause CME, and CME would appear like a prominence. CME and prominences are thought to be linked somehow, we’re not totally sure yet.
