Solar Feeds
Abstract
Observations of the Sun typically involve modest aperture and a large and heavy spectrograph. In the field at ECLIPSES the telescope itself may need to have a long focal length. These requirements are conveniently met by having a tracking flat mirror which feeds a stationary telescope and its instrumentation. Magnetograph observations, which involve the polarization analysis of spectrum lines, pl...
