1 Sunspot Telescope Sunspots and surface granulation are the two main features. Telescope: Celestron NexStar 5 mounted on a Losmandy mount. Field of View is 40 arcminutes x 28 arcminutes f/6.3 focal ratio

2 Filter: Thousand Oaks Type 2 Plus Glass coated Light Transmission is 1/1,000th of 1%

3 Camera An NC1600 Network/IP camera Images published to PARI website http://www.pari.edu/telescopes/OpticalTelescopes/sun/flares/

4 Solar Flare Telescope Coronado Solarmax 40 Solar Telescope. Hydrogen alpha filter with a bandwidth of 0.7 Angstroms to see solar flares 40 arcminute field of view Observes Solar Flares using a Hydrogen Alpha filter

5 The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory SOHO http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/ A project of international cooperation between ESA and NASA to study the Sun SOHO was launched by NASA on an Atlas II-AS rocket (AC-121) from the Cape Canaveral Air Station (Florida, United States) on 2 December 1995. Instruments include: EIT (Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope) 304 MDI/SOI (Michelson Doppler Imager/Solar Oscillations Investigation) continuum Other instruments: CDS (Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer) LASCO (Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph) SUMER (Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted Radiation) SWAN (Solar Wind Anisotropies) UVCS (Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer) VIRGO (Variability of Solar Irradiance and Gravity Oscillations)
