Greg Piepol kindly allowed me to take some prime focus photos through his 155m Astro-Physics Starfire apochromatic refractor and 0.2 Angstrom Solar Spectrum H-alpha filter during the 2005 Northeast Astronomy Forum Solar Star Party. The camera used was a Canon EOS Digital Rebel and the exposure was 0.3 second. As usual focusing was a real bear. This shot was my best effort. A filament and two prominences are visible.
