- David Lunt revolutionized amateur astronomy by introducing the first hydrogen-alpha solar telescopes for consumers in the late 1990s. H-alpha filters had been available before, but they required electronic temperature control to maintain their narrow passpands, making them cumbersome to use https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/david-lunt-19422005/#:~:text=David%20Lunt%2C%20founder%20and%20principal,convenient%20hydrogen%2Dalpha%20solar%20filters. 3 comments space

- Eyepiece sun filters were once commonly supplied with imported telescopes and consist of a piece of dark glass mounted in a cell that screws into the bottom of an eyepiece. The heat from the Sun concentrated by a telescope can shatter these filters without warning, making them very dangerous https://skyandtelescope.org/observing/celestial-objects-to-watch/safe-solar-observing/ 4 comments space

- From 1847, Rudolf Wolf started counting sunspots. He peered through a telescope every day, if he could, and recorded the number of spots he observed.
