Heya,
A great prom has developed on the limb, and a little active region with some flaring has woken up since yesterday and it has two small visible umbra with a filament near it, the filament(s) are looping or spiraling, quite interesting, with flaring around it, quite nice to look at in higher resolution. Hopefully it will quickly develop into a full blown spot with a numerical designation. I grabbed a few frames of data over 30 minutes and managed an animation to show the very fast dynamic movement of the filament.

This first one is an animation of 30 minutes time lapsed:

Very best,
