Results from broad-band filter, high-precision, linear polarimetry in Hα-prominences taken on March 29, 2006 are presented. The contrast between the prominence and the corona is estimated. Comparison of 2D distributions of the degree of polarization based on 3 orientations of a polarizer and on 24 orientations reveals the systematic decreasing of ≍ 2% in the polarization degree for the noisier signal. Measured polarization degrees of 1-7% in the height range of 30-90" are below the theoretical curve for pure resonance scattering. The promise of the method for synoptical observations in 2 lines are noted.
