Details:
No other amateur has ever imaged this before, I have been studying this phenomena for almost 2 years now. I call them "ferrets". What you are looking at is a solar serpentine line. It is like a layer of fog slightly above the photosphere, and slightly below the chromosphere. This is not a filament. This is a magnetic anomaly, where iron vapor is tracing the convective streamline source of magnetism. If you look closely you will see the main streamline, with root offshoots similar to human veins. Solar minimum has something new to offer!
