You need either a Ha scope or Ha filter & blocking filter on a normal scope. A Meade PST or Lunt 35mm scope are the minimum cost/entry level for seeing prominences at the Sun's limb (also called filaments when over the Sun's disc) and other disc features.
That is quite an interesting prom - thanks for the heads up Chris.
