Data are typically available 1 day after they are collected. Only a single best average mk3 image from each day is kept online. These data are available via anonymous ftp, or are easily downloaded via the Web. These images are available in GIF format.
In these images, the center of the image is the center of the sun, North is straight up at the top of the image. East is to the left.
