Solar observers - S.D.O. Event Alert - iPad app

iPad app: "3D Sun"

Hi all

I realise that this forum dedicates itself to visual astronomy, which is why I thought I'd mention this app here. It's not so much about the software, but the service provided to solar observers. It's from a developer who has incorporated imagery from NASAs heliophysics division, who have been involved with their input. It basically informs you, in real time, of solar events as they are occurring. I just heard a chirp from my iPad and it told me that there was a towering blast to look at - right now.

Very cool indeed. I just wish that I had a PST or Lunt to take advantage of the notifications!

Thanks for the post Chris. I've got the Lunt but not the iPhone. But if I get one...

I tend to be out looking a the sun for much of each clear non-work day so for me it would be less about knowing when to look and more about getting details on what I'm looking at and seeing what it looks like with other equipment. 'Twould be very good.
