Hedgerow prominences with associated filaments

I used a x2 Barlow with the DMK camera and a H-alpha PST solar scope to capture this image of a hedgerow prominence.

The
image comprised 3000 frames exposed for the prominence stacked in
Registax and 2000 frames exposed to show the disk, stacked in registax
and combined to form a single image with Andrew Sprott’s Solar Layers
software.

This is the same prominence but the camera used was a ToUCam Pro webcam:

In both images filaments can be seen snaking towards the limb where they become prominences.
