Swirling prominence and other animations from Sunday

A bit disappointing, I was counting on more pore movement, like in this animation from a few years back:

Interesting little sparks in the lower sunspot, but according to NOAA there were no flares there at the time.

Great job!
In the calcium line, everything is very dynamic.
Most of all, I liked the second animation with prominences.

Great set!!! You should try stopping the scope down to 60mm for the CaK, will sharpen these up considerably.
