Another great image Peter!
I was watching visually that day and if I mentally subtract about 98% of the detail in your image it does look a bit like what I saw. I recognise the area at 3 o'clock and I did enjoy the detached prominence. When I set up I observe throughout the morning (or until the cloud arrives); I might observe for 10 minutes then take a half hour break then check it out again etc). I came back one time to find numerous faint (to me) detached prominences at about 90* anticlockwise from the area I mentioned. However I was using a diagonal which flipped the image approximately along the e-w axis, so perhaps it at 6 o'clock on your image?? They faded away over about 15 minutes. The total lack of sunspots was a surprise. I normally use them to focus and so fiddled about with the focus for a few moments before I realised that none were going to appear.
