I saw it in K-line and switched to my h-alpha scope to find a bright area on the disk. Attached is an image I took of it. It could be a new spot developing or leaving.

In between high haze and poor seeing I managed a few glimpses of that bright spot, as well as the loop prom you captured so nicely. Thanks!
