Hi Anthony, while processing my data from this morning, July 4th, I have an image that supports your premise regarding the hook being influenced by the winds circulating around a polar spot.

The end of the hook has completely wrapped around a lighter spot.
Hope to be able to post images before tonights imaging session.

Cheers
Trevor
