Fantastic capture there by Jamie Shepherd. After the suggestion that this image may be one of it kind, it is worth mentioning here that a similar capture was made 35 years earlier, by I. Tsukamoto in Japan, as shown here on an old Baader Catalogue. Its capture reads:
"I. Tsukamoto from Japan was able to capture this image series on 27 October 1987 on a high plateau 2,000m above sea level in optimal atmospheric conditions. With the Sun ['s disk] still obscured by a nearby ridge, an eruptive solar prominence of enormous proportions is revealed, rising higher and higher above the horizon until it fades into the light of the rising Sun. For these images, Mr Tsukamoto used a 300mm telephoto lens with a 1.4x tele extender (effective fl = 420mm) without any red filter."
