Solar Prom from 1st March

The Sun's coming back! Here's a prom taken this morning 1st March. Despite the wind and cloud it turned out ok.
Cheers

Hi Andy,
            Great shot!!!! Was it taken using your webcam?

image of solar prominence

I'm really impressed with this image - how did you achieve it? Is it a white light image, or is it Hydrogen alpha? Either way, I would like to try this out.
Congrats,
Bob

It's a H-alpha image taken with a Cornado SM40 & BF 5 filters, William Optics 80mm Apo and a mono SPC900 Toucam. Sun's still low so in a few months when it's more overhead I should get a bit more of the finer detail.

PS Don't try and take images of the sun or try and view it without appropriate filters!!!!!!
