Imagery of the Sun in both White Light and Hydrogen-Alpha. Do not point your telescope at the sun without proper filtering!
White Light: the full visible light spectrum reduced to safe levels. This shows the Sun’s Photosphere, or the lowest visible altitude of the star
Hydrogen-Alpha: a deep red 656.28nm wavelength which is emitted by energized Hydrogen atoms. On the Sun this reveals the Chromosphere, or the Sun’s lower atmosphere
