Hi Glenhuon

I think this forum is actually for showing your images. You need to post in the Equipment forums or similar.

To your question - to see prominences you need a Hydrogen Alpha (Ha) filter. These filters cost over $2000. Coronado make the PST (Personal Solar Telescope) and this will give you views of proms and surface detail - cost about $900A.

Seems there is no cheap option for viewing solar details.

NOTE: Do not confuse Solar Ha filters with Nebula Ha filters. Nebula filters cost only a few hundred but are no good for the sun - you may go blind.
