Subject: Solar Prom Image - a Face?!

Hi,  I was imaging a large prominence on the sun today wrapping around the limb near sunspot group 1147-1149.   About 2pm I noticed the prom had morphed into the shape of a face -maybe a woman?!   I know Alan Friedman likes to give his prominences names, so thought of him while I watched this.   What was really bizarre was that because of the seeing, the face's mouth appeared to move as if speaking and I thought maybe I've spent too much time looking at the screen!  ; )   

This is a single tiff image cropped about 50%,  captured with AstroIIDC, on MacBook Pro, 40mm Coronado filter on Orion ED80mm scope w/ 2x barlow and DBK 21 camera.   Image uploaded to Solar Files - link in previous yahoo message.  -can't seem to get a proper link to paste here.
