A Supercircuits EXVision video camera images the Sun through a PARI 20 cm Solar Telescope with a white light solar filter to see sunspots.  A Supercircuits EXVision video camera images the Sun through the PARI Coronado Solarmax 40 Solar Telescope. The Coronado Solarmax 40 has a hydrogen alpha filter with a bandwidth of 0.7 Angstroms to see solar flares. 



When the telescopes and cameras are active then solar images will be displayed.   Blank images will be displayed during cloudy weather or at night.
