Binoviewing is the best. Better than the 13mm Nagler.
The filaments are more or less similar to yesterday but what I can see with two eyes and far more detail than single eye.
Welcome to my astronomy blog, I dedicate myself to the simplest form of amateur astronomy which requires only portable equipment. I have two small refractors, two small binoculars, one small GOTO mount and another small equatorial mount, and a small H-alpha solar filter. Originally from a city where the people were proud of their light pollution, that is Hong Kong where I loved. Relocated to the UK since 2021.

Just an observation
Purely visual at the beginner, didn't open the window nor the window frame... since spaceweather said the sun is spotless these days.
Used a 13mm Nagler, very sharp and great view, two filaments stretched across the solar disc at nearly 1/3 disc length, a nice cluster of prominences can be seen as well... Short but very wide.
Finally can't held myself from imaging using a color webcam which is the only thing I had at this moment. Black white mode does help on focusing but still, I've overexposed it and thus only a small part shows detail.

It marks a new year for my solar observation.
I didn't take any photograph today, but I did observe with my binoviewer, there seems to be 3 long filaments in the 1/3 part of the disc, but careful examination seems to reveal that they're actually ONE SINGLE crazily long one, it spans at least half of the solar disc
however, it tends to say it's not continuous, with more careful look, you can see in some parts they're really too thin to say it's connected.
there're some nice prominence at the edge, one is especially fun to look at!!! it looked like a inverted M attached to the solar limb, or shall I say it's a W!!!
841 is the single most attractive active region in my finder sized 40mm system.
Finally, I waited for sun to set on a remote building and it's really a great site in H-alpha!
