Over in the Lunar Observing forum we have put together a list of links to web sites/pages of use to Lunar Observers that has becomes a large and useful resource. I would like to see such a resource brought into being for this forum as well. Toward that end, I have stuck this post to the top of the forum, and begun our list of online solar observing resources with a link provided recently by David W. Knisely : Observing the Sun in H-alpha NASA: Solar Physics Sungazer Reference List Dave Groski's Solar Page Big Bear Solar Observatory National Solar Observatory NWS Space Environment Center Astro-Nut.com Solar Observing the Sun with a Spectroheliograph Solar Photos from Germany Cemax Eyepiece Review ALPO solar section Please add links that you know of and have found useful. I will periodically go through what is posted on this thread and add it to a master list in this post for convenient access.

I have made an off axis 5 inch hole with the baader film. I can view the sun just fine, in the white yellow color. What I would like to know is, how do I see the fine detail in the red, orange color? Could I use a H-alfa filter at the eyepiece, with the baader film on the end of the scope to get more detail? Please help.. Thank's, Don.

JHelioviewer is visualization software for solar image data based on the JPEG 2000 compression standard. JPEG 2000 offers many useful new features and has the potential to revolutionize the way high-resolution image data are disseminated and analyzed. The JPEG 2000 Interactive Protocol (JPIP) enables serving data in a highly compressed, quality-progressive, region-of-interest-based stream. These features minimize the data volume transmitted while maximizing its usability. This is especially relevant for solar physics since NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory has started providing more than a terabyte of image data per day.

I ended up watching a large prominence that grew, then arched over back to the Sun in real time. Other prominences were looked at by the observer as well as some views of the Sun's photosphere with sunspots. Though this site is for night observing, checking it during anytime might bring up a solar observer like I did.
