The sun today was quite amazing a long line of spots and a complete ring of them at one location.

Fabulous wasn't it! :-)

always something to look at when it comes to the sun.

If you compare the White Light and Ha images in these two threads, you can see the line of active regions runs across the lower half of the disk, whilst the filament is in the upper half to the right.
