Creation and use of flat field for meteor spectroscopy

In astro photography and spectroscopy a flat field is often used to correct for variations of sensitivity over the image sensor. It is applied by dividing the original image by a suitable flat field image, thereby reducing or eliminating these sensitivity errors. The flat image is obtained with the same optics by taking a short … Continue reading Creation and use of flat field for meteor spectroscopy

New publication about meteor spectroscopy

The method of using an orthographic transformation to linearize spectra is getting used more frequently. A research group from the Beijing National Observatory of Space Environment in China has used the method for the analysis of video meteor spectra and is publishing the results now. Sipeng Yang et. al., MIOS optical subsystem for determining physical … Continue reading New publication about meteor spectroscopy
