Single Data Image from Custom Spectroheliograph
I did a little bit more research and testing of the custom spectroheliograph I am building yesterday. This time I actually captured a single frame of data of one spectral line. Honestly, I can't even remember which line this was... Hydrogen alpha? Sodium? Continuum? I honestly don't remember and I suppose it does not matter. I just wanted to make a little more progress in this project. This image is just one still image of a spectral line captured without the use of a telescope of any sort. I simply had the spectroheliograph pointed out our living room window. My purpose was simply to see what a captured image would look like. For collecting data to compile an actual image of the current sun, I would need to be connected to a telescope and then capture video... from one end of the spectral line scanning toward and beyond the opposite end of the spectral line. It would be a completely different process. One thing I did noticed in this image is that either my focus w
