Images in H-alpha, 80, 160, and 327 MHz, and dynamic spectrograph data from Culgoora Observatory, Australia

The observatory conducts continuous optical and radio observations of the sun every day of the year. Observing instrumentation includes: - a 12 cm solar telescope fitted with an hydrogen-alpha filter, used to observe solar flares and other phenomena - a 30 cm heliostat, used to observe sunspot evolution - a solar radiospectrograph which sweeps through a frequency range of 18 - 1800 MHz every three seconds, used to monitor solar radio bursts Regular reports and forecasts of solar activity are transmitted to the Australian Space Forecast Centre in Sydney and are disseminated to similar organisations internationally.

Particularly significant solar outbursts are reported to a wide range of interested parties around the world within minutes of their occurrence. Real-time Spectrographs, Type-II events, H-alpha images, flare forecasts, X-ray flux and flares, and historical solar data are available from: "ips.gov.au/Main.php?CatID=5" The Australian Space Weather Agencey is operated by the IPS Radio and Space Services (IPSRSS) which is part of the World Data Center for Solar-Terrestrial Science in Australia.
