Prominence on Sun 11 May 2015

Testing the view of prominences with my Orion SSAG Planetary 3Mp CMOS camera at Astrocamp in Cwmdu this year where I had the chance to sample a Daystar Quark on my Altair Lightwave 72 ED-R scope, courtesy of Nic at The Widescreen Centre on the afternoon of 11 May. Generally speaking I would not image the sun after 11am in the morning due to atmospheric turbulence, this was taken around 3pm. I have not messed with this, it is exactly the view/colours you see when moving the scope to view the limb instead of the surface as in the previous image.
