Abstract
Solar activity research provides insight into the Sun’s past, future (Science Daily, 2018). The solar activity includes observations of large numbers of intense sunspots, flares, and other phenomena; and demands a wide range of techniques and measurements on the observations. This research needs long term data collection before critical analyses can occur, to generate meaningful learning and knowledge. In this project, we will use solar imaging to make observations of solar activity, and take our baby steps to make contributions in citizen science. Observations will be made in 3 wavelengths to gain a more thorough analysis by looking at different perspectives of the Sun, namely H-Alpha, Calcium-K, and white light.

Summary
In today’s world, we rely heavily on satellites, radio communication and other such technology. They have made our life so much easier and convenient. On March 13 1989, Quebec suffered a blackout as a result of a solar flare [2]. Due to such incidents, it is necessary for us to study about the Sun in order to predict when a solar activity might occur. Everyone’s observation is required – both amateur and professional solar astronomers – in order for us to predict when such events might take place
