Caught 2 hours of activity on the western limb this morning in decent seeing.  A lot going on in the animation in both AR3777 on the limb and AR3780.  The biggest surprise is the development of a floating prom above the activity down on the limb that then started raining down to the surface as well a brief glimpse of material shooting upwards too.  I only wish the clouds had stayed away just a bit longer to see what happened to that bit of plasma.
Lunt LS60T DS/Saturn-M SQR  Firecapture, Autostakkert, ImPPG and Photoshop.  Also presenting it in an inverted version which highlights some additional activity on the disk.  Image has been rotated for viewing

So that's what it was! I only saw it as a blob 

 

Nice animations

It was quite a spectacle today, I spent almost 4 hours watching from time to time.
but it wasn't as clear as your animation.

Thanks Gary and Johann!  It looked like a cap on the side of the sun when I first looked at it.

Great vids Warren!  You really get the sense of swirling vortices on that one.  That detached raining prom is cool too!
