SOLAR SPECTRA

Solar spectra captured with an SC1 modified QCPro3000 camera. The image covering the 4963-5215Å region is a composite of 10 x .5 sec exposures; dark subtracted, gamma corrected and slight sharpening performed with Paintshop Pro. Grayscale conversion and a medium strength unsharp masking applied. The Horizontal lines are due to internal imperfections in the instrument itself; primarily the slit edges. Neon calibration lamp spectra may be found here


Entrance slit: .0012"(30 microns) width
Camera lens:112mm focal length 17mm diameter
Collimator:135mm focal length 35mm diameter
