Scientific paper

New digital 1K×1K CCD cameras have been installed on the solar telescope of the Royal Observatory of Belgium (ROB, Uccle, Brussels), in addition to the visual telescope used for the classical sunspot observations. One camera provides full-disk images of the photosphere and uses an image-selection algorithm to compensate the effects of the seeing. The other camera produces full-disk images of the chromosphere in the Hα line, and will be used for an automated flare patrol work. After completion of the instrument commissioning (August 2002), those images will be made available in near real-time through the SIDC Regional Warning Center web pages (http://sidc.oma.be) and in the form of a FITS file archive. We describe here the instruments and their capabilities.
