This observatory is not a large institution, though we do carry out long term photographic monitoring of prominences. Our intention is to inform everybody about our observation programmes, the quality of our observations, our archive and the possibilities for its use.

We present examples of our photographic observations, an electronic archive of observation intervals and events, a prominence catalogue, and we discuss possible future co-operation.

We have devloped and tested an instrument based on a fibrebonded CCD camera for observations of solar prominences. To record faint prominences we have used a solid aluminized glass cone which reflects bright solar disc light outside the telescope tube. The prominence monitor is installed at the back end of a 15-cm f/15 coude refractor telescope after the H-alpha filter. This prominence monitor is capable of recording prominence images at an interval of 5 sec, but during prominence eruptions it can record images at an interval of 2 sec.
