SUNSCAN

[Olivier GARDE]

English version below

L'équipe STAROS Projects a conçu un nouvel appariel pour scanner la surface du Soleil à la longueur d'onde de son choix. Il est autonome et plug and play :
- Mettez en route le SUNSCAN
- Pointez le Soleil grâce au visuer Solaire intégré
- Lancer l'acquisition via votre smartphone ou tablette.
- Obtenez l'image du Soleil directement, sans aucun traitement

C'est un projet open source et ou vous pouvez imprimer vos pièces vous même, un kit optique est également disponible ainsi qu'un kit mécanique.

The STAROS Projects team has designed a new device for scanning the Sun surface at the wavelength of your choice. It's autonomous and plug and play:
- Switch on SUNSCAN
- Point at the Sun with the built-in Sun finderscope
- Start acquisition with your smartphone or tablet.
- Get the image of the Sun directly, without any processing

It's an open source project, and you can print your own parts. An optical kit is also available, as well as a mechanical kit.

The Sun scan completed in 5 minutes (including installation and automatic processing) with the SUNSCAN



all these images were produced automatically from a single scan (no manual processing)

[Olivier GARDE]

2 SUNSCAN animations:

- the evolution of a protuberance in less than an hour



- the Sun's rotation in 5 days



The animations were created from images supplied automatically by the SUNSCAN application, with no post-processing other than cropping the image for the protuberance animation and adding the date and time.

[Olivier GARDE]

SUNSCAN is very easy to use, setting up in less than 3 minutes and automatically processing an image in less than 3 minutes, so including installation, you can obtain an image in 6 minutes at the wavelength of your choice (between Ca II K & H and H alpha) by just ^precing a button on your smartphone.



It's a compact, easy-to-use “plug and play” instrument that's easy to take anywhere.
