The data from prominence observations provide an opportunity to study spatio-temporal distribution of prominences over a solar cycle. The Slovak Central Observatory (SCO) at Hurbanovo (South Slovakia) in cooperation with the coronal station at Lomnický Štít (Astronomical Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Tatranská Lomnica, Slovakia) constructed a Lyot coronagraph with parameters D/f of 90/1250/3750 mm in 1996 for regular prominence patrol at Hurbanovo (112 m above sea level).

The aim of this collaboration is a joint annual publication of a catalogue of the observed prominences for each year. This paper also describes the form of the catalogue. The authors would appreciate if other observational stations would join this activity. The editor of the catalogue will be the SCO at Hurbanovo.
