Image Details:

Solar active region AR2835 erupting with a flare ( the lighter coloured material to the lower and right of the spot itself).
A very hazy cloudy day, I had all the gear set ready to go the night before, but packed up when I saw the conditions. It dissipated for about 10-15 mins so I hurriedly setup again to capture a closer view of this Sun spot, the largest active region of 2021 so far.
