Solar Prominence

Nothing special other than this is my first shot of prominence! Actually this is like proof of concept image that I can take images through my new solar telescope, Coronado PST. This is shot through three layer window while sun was five degrees from horizon and behind some three branches. I will try again weather permitting and I am able to go outside. This is fun!
