While various line filters, narrowband filters and color filters can increase contrast when used behind a white light solar filter, none of them are narrow enough (afaik) to show proms or other Ha features.

Ha scopes work at less than 1 angstrom; 12nm = 120 angstroms.

Edit: google tells me that up to 10nm can be useful for proms, though with reduced contrast, so it might be a matter for experimentation.
