Abstract

The article analyzes the method of pointing a high-spatial-resolution solar telescope with an angular field of view smaller than the angular size of the solar disk using an auxiliary guide telescope with the field of view covering the entire disk of the Sun and its surroundings. The requirements for the resolution of the telescope, pointing modes, and the structural diagram of the pointing are considered.

Notes

  1. If we ignore the change of \(D_{s}\) within a year, the coordinates of the corner points of the area \(a_{1}\times b_{1}\) measured relative to the center of the guidance matrix will have constant values.
