Using the eclipse observations, we construct the maps of quiescent prominence temperatures, electron densities, pressures and geometrical thicknesses. For this we use the RGB signal of prominence visible-light emission detected during the total solar eclipse on August 1, 2008 in Mongolia, and quasi-simultaneous Hα spectra taken at Ondřejov observatory. The method of disentangling the electron density and effective geometrical thickness was described by Jejčič & Heinzel (2009) and is used here for the first time to analyse the spatial variations of various prominence parameters.
