Two towers of plasma in the Sun

Image Description and Details :

This morning, February 18, I photographed this magnificent prominence on the northeast limb of the sun. These two towers of hot plasma rise more than 90,000 km above the sun's surface.
On the solar disk, not many sunspots are seen but many filaments in multiple active regions are very noticeable.
To take this picture I used a Coronado Solarmax II 90mm telescope and a ZWO 183MM camera.
