In this paper we present a new method of restoration of the true thee-dimensional trajectories of the prominence knots based on ground-based observations taken with a single telescope, which is equipped with a Multi-Channel Subtractive Double Pass imaging spectrograph. Our method allows to evaluate true three-dimensional trajectories of the prominence knots without any assumptions concerning the shape of the trajectories or dynamics of the motion. The reconstructed trajectories of several knots observed in three prominences are presented.
