A safe look at the sun through a solar telescope.

We have a solar telescope that can show Hydrogen Alpha detail, hydrogen plasma blasts off the sun and can be viewed with a special telescope using special filters.  This telescope provides a view that is a lot like this photo which I snapped through an eyepiece at HJRO.  The Lunt telescope offers great views. It's nice to be able to look at the sun safely during the day.  This is one of the views the science classes at the middle school get to see from the observatory when we open it up for the school tours in the daytime.
