Double flare

Newish sunspot 1471 let off 2 medium sized flares in quick succession today. You can see from my solar flare monitor the initial peak and then a second pulse as the second flare was that bit stronger. Although there are quite a few spots on the Sun they don't pose a threat for big flares. Magnetic activity is also quiet, giving us a rest from earlier in the month.
