A technical description of the contemporary solar telescope of the Kharkov Astronomical Observatory (http://khassm.virtualave.net) is given, and the plan to future development is sketched. A wide range monitoring of solar activity including observations near UV range in Balmer continuum and the IR line of He 1083nm is presented.

Results of brightness distribution measurements of the lunar disk and laboratory samples at different phase angles in blue and red spectral bands are presented. It is shown for the Moon that brightness falling with photometric latitude is formed mainly by micro- and mesorelief of its surface. Small decreasing of brightness falling with wavelength is due to not so much albedo changing as changing of microrelief size range which has an influence on the law of light reflection by the Moon.

Using 350 eclipse chromospheric spectra obtained for the west limb of the Sun during the total solar eclipse of July 31, 1981 the image of the solar chromosphere in the D3 helium line was constructed. The description of a fast automatic microphotometer for scaning the photographic images is given. The method of the construction of chromospheric images is shown. Additional peak of chromospheric D3 surface brightness at the height of around 300 km over all measured latitudes was found.

Some features of CCD-detectors using for astrophysical observations of the Moon, the Sun and planets are considered. New photopolarimeter on the base of CCD-camera is created on KhAO. The device description and test observation results are shown. The program complex is developed for automation of observations and primary processing of the digital images.

The digital images of 350 eclipse chromospheric spectra obtained with a special automatic photometer have been used to construct the image of the D3 HeI chromosphere over the range of 36°N - 42°S in latitude. The chromospheric emission comes from two very irregular layers with peaks of the intensities at the heights of 1100 - 1700 km for the layer with the dominant emission, and at the height of around 300 km for the lower layer. The distribution of the surface brightness averaged over all measured latitudes (36°N - 42°S) versus height also reveals two peaks. The energy emitted by the upper layer is determined to be 7 times larger than that emitted by the lower one. The chromospheric D3 emission is well correlated with the emission of the green corona (503.3 nm) at low heights. The correlation disappears at heights more than 1500 km. The chromosphere above active regions and spots is lowered. It is supposed that such behaviour is affected by large scale magnetic fields of the Sun and by structural elements, such as spicules and fibrils.

Results of photometric measurements of the Moon at different phase angles are presented. Brightness distribution as the function of photometric latitude has been studied. It is shown that brightness falling to poles increases with phase angle a, and at a~120° the Moon reflects nearly by the Lambert's law. The origin of such phenomenon is discussed.
