contents One of the products of the National Solar Observatory's Integrated Synoptic Program (NISP) is the farside seismic map which shows the magnetic activity on the unobserved side of the Sun. The production of these rudimentary maps began in 2006, and they have since proven to be a valuable tool in tracking solar activity which cannot be directly observed from the earth's surface. The continuous tracking of solar active regions allows space weather forecasters to monitor critical solar events which may have larger economic and societal impacts here on Earth. In an effort to improve these maps, several steps are underway through the Windows on the Universe project (WoU) funded by the NSF. One of these steps is to improve the quality assurance measures for the images collected at individual sites throughout the GONG network and is used to develop the farside maps. To this end, we have designed a binary classification neural network to determine which of these site images should and should not be included in the farside pipeline that produces the end product maps. This convolutional neural network is a highly effective and computationally efficient method of significantly improving the quality of the farside maps currently produced by the NISP program.
