SHG (spectroheliography) software release version 3.5

Post by thesmiths »

This is a minor upgrade to the previous version and does not have any noticeable new features. Rather, based on testing by users, two of the key routines were made more robust for a variety of possible use cases.

There is a new method for "border detect" of the spectral line that is more robust than the original method. It will now find the ends of the spectral line even if one border is on the edge of the frame (a common failure mode for the old method).

Another change makes detection of the ellipse fitting routine more robust, again in the case where one end of the spectral line is at the edge of the frame.

The use cases where these improvements help is for longer focal lengths with a relatively short slit, rather than for full disk scans.
