Re: Atmospheric Seeing and Transparency for Solar Imaging
Hi Stephen
Nice to know..May I ask how you prepare the students for imaging? I mean, do you conduct a session for the students before they start using the camera and telescope etc. OR are they senior enough and know the telescope and camera handling already?
