Justin,
Good and bad news....
The shot you have is pretty good for a white light shot with a DSLR.
To image the Ha detail like filaments and prominences you need to use a specialised Ha solar telescope. These use extremely complicated and expensive Fabry-Perot etalon filter assemblies.
The cheapest starting points are the smaller Lunt or Coronado scopes.
99% of the "best" sloar images are taken with mono video webcams ie DMK etc. Using Registax (or similar) to select and stack the best frames (probably only 50/1000) and then gentle sharpening with wavelets.....
