Coronado SolarMax60

The Coronado SolarMax60 records the full solar disk and limb in the neutral emission line of Hydrogen at 656.3 nm known as H-alpha (H) at ~3 minute cadence. Processed images are 1024 x 1024 pixels with a platescale of 2.41 arcseconds per pixel. The Coronado SolarMax60 was operated from March 3, 2010 until April 5, 2011. Coronado data products consist of solar disk and limb images in fits and gif format.

All Coronado H data are available on the MLSO web page and can be used to identify and track solar prominences, filaments and their eruptions, chromospheric waves produced by flares and CMEs, sunspots, active regions and variations in chromospheric structure over the solar cycle.
