Abstract Type : Poster Abstract Category : Instrumentation and Techniques Abstract : One of the proposed back-end systems for the National Large Solar Telescope is Broad Band Imaging System (BBIS), which is intended to perform simultaneous observations of the Sun in multiple wavelengths. Information about solar activity at different depths can be obtained from these kind of observations. As first step, a prototype system is developed at Kodaikanal Observatory, using the White light Active Region Monitor Telescope as the front end. Though it is a low resolution telescope, we hope to use the back-end as a test bed for the future experiments concerning the BBIS. This back-end system has three channels: one for the auto guiding and two for the imaging. Preliminary observations are done with only two imaging channels, and a set of low resolution near simultaneous full disk images of the Sun are taken. Dark and flat correction are done, and limb darkening is removed. |
