Using Scintillation Measurements to Achieve High Spatial Resolution in Photometric Solar Observations
Abstract
The RISE/PSPT (`Radiative Inputs from the Sun to the Earth/Precision Solar Photometric Telescopes') experiment will attain high differential photometric precision in full-disk solar images with 1 arc sec pixels. To achieve this spatial resolution it will be necessary to use frame selection techniques to minimize the effects of atmospheric `seeing'. We report here on experiments to use a simple scintillation monitor as a trigger or `veto' for imaging observations.
