High Resolution Solar Prominence Video

I made this video in my backyard using special filters on my Telescope. It shows a solar prominence ejecting from the surface of the sun and crashing back down. The video spans around 2 hours.

I use a Coronado 90mm solar max filter and typically a homemade camera which is alot like a DMK ccd camera. I also use an CG-5 Tripod.

To make such a long video you need a special telescope mount that turns with the earth rotation. Must be quite expensive for private hobby use if even available.

Does the image of the Earth in the corner represent an accurate size comparison?
