When we observe the sun under Ha filtering, we are able to see the sun's #chromosphere and its #prominences. The chromosphere is a gaseous layer, mainly hydrogen, which lays above the #photosphere. The high temperatures at that layer causes the hydrogen to glow red at that wavelength, hence the Ha name. Also, you could be able to see a #prominence, which is an eruption-like event of solar material thrown out into space!
