About this image

Taken a day or two ago. Remarkably similar to Richard's image.

I looked at several images on the BAA site and they show the feature running at 2 o'clock from the blob. Doesn't seem to be in the prediscovery image (but is quite faint). I wonder if it is the axis of a polar flow or something else?
