It is hard to find what triggered this (perhaps just as a result of active region evolution), but the corona above AR 12632 gradually dimmed, perhaps representing a small and slow eruption.

A filament is moving toward northwest. If this is an eruption, it is highly non-radial. But the motions are seen only in 304 A channel, and it is possible that nothing erupted.

This was probably from a region slightly behind the west limb. It was non-radial toward the equator and seen most prominently in 304 A images. The associated CME was also narrow (see http://spaceweather.gmu.edu/seeds/mkmovie.php?cme=20170205.012545.w006.v0293.p299&frame=3&r).

The onset of a jet-like (narrow angle) CME eruption. Before the onset, some background loops are seen to retract towards the North (North is up). The associated CME was of slow-to-intermediate speed (~450 km sec; see http://spaceweather.gmu.edu/seeds/mkmovie.php?cme=20170203.182407.w018.v0460.p306&frame=11&r)

The Coronal Hole reported two days ago now extends a much wider area, spanning the two hemispheres of the sun.

An Active Region is emerging in an area of predominantly negative polarity (red patches). The positive (trailing) polarity of the bipole shows connectivity to the ambient negative patches around it.

A small sigmoid erupting twice in in a time range of two hours. No CME was associated with this event.

An eruption of a mini sigmoidal structure - Top left: 211 A (Temperature 2 MK), top right: 193 A (1.5 MK), bottom left: 171 A (0.6 MK). bottom right: magnetic field map (red: negative, green: positive) at the photospheric surface. This eruption showed slight dimming in 171 A and does not seem to be associated with a CME.

Coronal rain and possibly a surge is visible off limb after the region rotates behind the solar disk.

2017-01-30T09:35:09 --> 2017-01-30T21:32:39

A inverse Y-shape coronal hole in the south hemisphere of the sun. Coronal holes are characterized by reduced emission in the corona and the predominantly unipolar nature of magnetic fields at the photosphere.

Micro flareing region that periodically gets bright. Continues to micro flare through 18:19 UT. Periodically, material will cross the slit but the base of the origin of the flare is east of the slit.

2017-01-30T09:35:09 --> 2017-01-30T21:32:39

A North-South oriented mini-sigmoid at the size of an ephemeral region. The mini-sigmoid is rooted at a positive and a negative patch of the ephemeral region. The sigmoidal structure is primarily seen in 2MK (green; 211 A channel). An enveloping structure is seen at lower temperatures (0.6MK; blue; 171 A channel). The mini-sigmoid is seen to erupt. This sigmoidal structure is possibly associated with a mini-filament (but not clearly seen in 50,000K of the 304 A channel).

2017-01-30T00:30:09 --> 2017-01-31T00:00:09

An event of emergence of magnetic flux from the solar interior to the solar atmosphere. This event is comprised of two flux tubes that show up as two bipole structures (red: locations of negative magnetic field, green: positive). The corona (purple: 2MK/211 Angstroms, yellow: 0.6MK/171 Angstroms) responds to the new emergence of magnetic flux and some interesting connectivity can be seen between the two bipoles. In addition, the rest of the field of view contains several short-lived bipoles known as "ephemeral regions".

2017-01-29T10:00:09 --> 2017-01-30T01:40:09

A very faint filament erupts at the North West quadrant of the solar disk. The filament is seen in ~50,000K (centered in Top Left; 304 Channel) and before its eruption it looks like a thin strand oriented along the E-W direction. Its signatures in the corona are not very clear - at 0.6 MK (bottom Left; 171 Channel) there is a brightening about the East footpoint of the filament. At higher temperatures (~2MK, Top Right; 211 Channel), brighrenings show up along the E-W direction albeit quite diffuse. The filament originates from an E-W oriented Polarity Inversion Line (Bottom Right; Red (Green) negative (positive) photospheric magnetic field). There was no CME observed by LASCO from this eruption.
