During the manned operation of the Skylab Apollo Telescope Mount, the Marshall Space Flight Center/The Aerospace Corporation solar X-ray telescope (S-056) observed many solar flares and transient solar phenomena. Those X-ray observations are correlated with events reported by H-alpha observers and those recorded by integrating X-ray satellite detectors. Data included for individual events are: (1) type of H-alpha activity; (2) H-alpha begin, maximum, and end times; (3) SOLRAD 9 or VELA X-ray (1 to 8 A) peak flux and time of peak flux; (4) begin time of S-056 observations; (5) approximate heliographic location; and (6) Boulder and McMath active region numbers.
