Sorry I'm so late posting this. I was out all day helping poorman with buying a boat.

Solar conditions change all the time. You can monitor solar activity (perhaps to predict auroras) at this excellent website:

SpaceWeather.com

Here's a goody from that page:

Using a 10" telescope, Eric Ng of Hong Kong took these two pictures of Jupiter on Feb. 9th . "I added red dots on the image to produce a 3D effect," says Eric. "Just sit 1 or 2 feet in front of your computer and adjust your eyes until the two red dots merge. You will see three Jupiters and the middle one is 3D." It really works!

This is amazing. Thank you!

I can never get those things to work, nor those hidden pictures in the funny pages.

That works well. Way better than red/green stereo. Good for getting images on the proper sides so it isn't necessary to cross the eyes.

I always forget. Is Jupiter's "eye" supposed to be above or below the planet's equator? I know that simple telescopes flip the focused image so that the true "top" of the image is really at the bottom.

Wow! What an unbelievable picture of the sun!
