To have taken those from your own backyard is amazing.

Incredible images.

Went out for about an hour with the scope and Quark filter. The seeing and atmospherics were horrible, the air was causing the sun to jump all around. It was almost impossible to focus. Out of 30 imaging sessions I was able to salvage two.

Taken with a Lunt ED102 achromatic scope with Daystar Gemini solar filter and ZWO ASI174mm mono camera. each part the surface and the prom were 1000 frames at 130 FPS, stacked in Autostakkert and finished in Photoshop.

I saw on the web there is a large prominence shooting from the sun. Could you see that? It may be in your top image, on the left side.
These are nice images.

Proms change minute by minute, yesterday the prom on the left side of the sun was smaller now it is bigger of course now it is cloudy

Here is a reprocess of yesterday long prom, a bit better and a nice filament in the lower center, filaments are prominences that are aimed towards us they show dark because they are cooler than the rest of the sun notice the two proms on either side have lifted off the surface of the sun
