This flare is quite similar to the last major (M6.4) flare in 2013 from the same region (AR 11936). Although the way the filament erupted was spectacular because they looked fragmented, it was almost a failed eruption. Most of the stuff came back. The associated CMEs were wimpy at best. The CME associated with the M9.9 flare was a little more decent than that with the M6.4 flare partly because of its location closer to the limb and possibly larger energy released.

Episodic surge activity on the east limb from an active region displays a beautiful spray with an array of ballistic trajectories of material falling back to the Sun.

Two polar-crown prominences erupt almost simultaneously across the solar disk, one on the west limb and the other on the east limb. The one on the west limb is more dramatic, while the east one has some prominence material falling back.

A spray surge rises up above the surface, swirls and falls back in. This is followed by a cavity eruption-like dimming (whether this eruption was complete it's hard to say). The running-away dimming begins shortly after the 304A matter falls back in, and starts to form above the top point of the 304A structure.

The C8 flare from AR 11885 is quite eruptive, but the ejection is largely deflected south. Interestingly about 18 minutes before the flare onset, we see an indication of big eruption over the west limb, which must be from a region behind the west limb, most likely what used to be AR 11875, now about W130 or so. It is not clear whether the eruption from AR 11885 contributed to the spectacular halo CME (see LASCO C2 difference image of 05:24-05:12, which indicates a shock at various places).

An X-class flare is followed by a massive coronal wave (211A) and a formation of a beautiful prominence (304A and 171A).

A small blob of 304A material is rapidly expelled from the highly active AR on the W limb. This happens close (in the plane of sky) to the unusually long 171A loop, bent in such a way that at the apex it is nearly horizontal, andwhich stretches almost over 90 degrees around the disk - from where it seems to start. As the 304A blob takes off, some wiggles propagating along the large loop are observed. They are most easily visible at the loop top, which also wiggles as the perturbation comes through.

A flare (I presume this is the almost-X flare in the beginning of the day accodring to GOES) causes rapid but noticeable brightenings in 304A in several regions progressively fuirther away from the site of the flare.

Two explosive brightenings happen seen in 304A nearly simultaneously, one at the E and the other one at the W limb. They are followed by a similar brightening on the W disk. All of these brightenings cause a noticeable diffraction pattern in 304A, however, GOES light curve only reveals one narrow peak of an M-class magnitude.

A major flare occurs in a compact AR towards the E limb in the S hemisphere. A coronal propagating front can be seen to proceed over a large opening angle on disk and over the limb. A filament in the S hemisphere activates, potentialy in response to the coronal perturbation.

An AR on the southern hemisphere produces a large flare, associated with eruptions into the field towards the north and west. The eruption involve complex field dynamics around an X point between the flaring region and one towards the NE of it. Note that at the time of the flare/eruption there is an eruption over the E limb apparently synchronous, possibly sympathetic.

A filament slowly takes off the northern part of the disk and lifts above the northern limb. It forms a rather impressive cloud-like prominence, with part of it perhaps arupting, but most of it simply rains back to the surface, but on the other side of the central meridian.

Three structures on the limb erupt simultaneously, with three associated dimming events. There is a fair amount of space between them, but they appear to be related to the same active region.
