Description
A method is described for reconstructing the true geometry of a solar loop observed on the disk which takes account of tilt in its own plane. Reconstructions of three Hα loops yield small tilt angles (< or approx.140) and provide further evidence that Hα loops show a close correspondence to the field lines of a magnetic dipole. The method offers new opportunities for exploring the physics of individual solar loops. (orig.)
