I managed to create an animated movie of the solar activity around AR1514, and 15 from yesterday.  Somehow jpg’s created on one of my PCs creates a file which is incompatible with Registax that’s why i had so much trouble yesterday.  The animation is a 60 minute activity compressed in a few seconds.  This sequence is repeated 5 times to let you better observe what’s happening.  The opening scene is the end of an M-class flare west of  1514.  Than the activity shifts over to between 1514 and 1515 for a small flare.  Finally a larger flare erupts to the south of 1515.  Also, look at the nice filament in the south east of the region.  Very nice movement! Click the image below to go to the movie, and wait a minute or so to let it load.
