Multi-coated glass white light filters and energy rejection filters (ERFs) are also available. An ERF is designed to filter ultraviolet and infrared light so that light from the visual spectrum can pass through. Band pass filters selectively reject most of the continuous solar spectrum and only allow through the light that occurs in a defined range of frequencies. Hydrogen-alpha (H-alpha) is perhaps the most frequently used band pass filter because it permits light from the chromosphere, where ionization of the hydrogen gases above the photosphere is emitted, to be viewed.
Fig. html) shows that the Sun and telescope are not aligned. An angle adjustment of the telescope must be made in the opposite direction to bring the Sun into view.

Visualizing a clock face, gridlines, or even cross hairs in both the field of view and the sketch circle helps. Using a template is even better. The Sun has heliographic coordinates for longitude (Lo), latitude (Bo), and the position angle (Po) of the solar rotation axis. Because sunspot locations are measured in degrees from these coordinates, using a template featuring gridlines or degree markings can help observers plot sunspots with higher accuracy.
