Several flares were seen in sunspot 1045 when I was imaging it on Sunday, February 7, 2010. This image with one of the flares was taken with my Tele Vue 102iis refractor, Coronado SM90 H-alpha filter, DMK41AU02.AS camera with 2x barlow, on a Celestron CGE Pro mount. Around 400 frames were captured with the camera and processed with Registax. The image was taken at around 18:30 UTC from my home in Evansville, Indiana, USA.
