The large-scaled active region of #2192 in Oct 2014 had several solar explosions, the flare. This set of images shows you the appearance of a largest-scale (X-class) flare and its change chased through the Hα light. You can see the flare as over-exposed region between two principal sunspots in an image at 8:33, and the light is reducing with time course. And the images show several thin stripes between the sunspots, it's called "the post-flare-loops", the prominences with its shapes change in short time.

Warning: When using a telescope for observing or photographing the sun, lacking knowledge of proper solar filtering methods can pose risks of visual impairment or blindness.
I do not assume any responsibility for any accidents that may occur as a result of observing or photographing the sun through this site.
