Solar safety

- Our telescope equipment utilizes safe Sun viewing methods; filtering the sunlight and projecting the sunlight.
- Solar filters include white light filters that block 99.999 percent of incoming sunlight, safely allowing us to see any sunspots that might be visible.
- H-alpha SolarMax II telescope filters out all the colors of sunlight except a specific red light (656nm) to allow us to see features such as solar prominences along the edge of the Sun.
- Sunspotters use a different method to safely view the Sun. They utilize mirrors and lenses to project the Sun safely onto a screen (piece of paper). You can draw/trace your own Sun and sunspots to start your own solar data log.

Solar Observing is an in-person event at the Bell Museum and is included in the cost of regular admission.
