You have a solar telescope Maddy? Wow! I didn't even know you could buy such things.

I have, for years, used a

on the front of my larger telescopes (I have an 8" and a 12"), but those just dim the Sun to safe brightness. You can see some structure (like an orange peel texture) on the Sun's surface, but tenuous coronal detail (all the pretty stuff around the edges) is lost in the glare.

The solar telescopes described above filter out all but one wavelength of light, that of hydrogen plasma's first (alpha) emission line. Solar flares (the loopy things that jump off the surface and are part of the solar corona) are substantially hydrogen plasma, so looking at the particular wavelength of light (which is orange/red) shows you structure there, without passing the intense white light of the sun's surface which comes from the incandescent glow of numerous heavier elements synthesized in the Sun's core.

ETA: You can condense all I said into "Yes, you can buy such things and they're neat!"
