Maxim Khisamutdinov, a scientist at the Research Institute of Multiprocessor Computing Systems named after Academician A. V. Kalyaev of Southern Federal University (SFedU), developed his own chromospheric telescope and software complex that allow obtaining detailed images of the Sun's outer shell. Such images were previously mainly available to large astronomical observatories.
The system allows distinguishing individual plasma structures in the chromosphere, including prominences at the edge of the solar disk.
Khisamutdinov developed his own software that automatically stabilizes, normalizes, and cleans the captured frames.
It is impossible to manually process a thousand frames in a series — that's why all my processing is automated.
The optical part of the setup includes two matched Fabry-Pérot etalons, a set of filters, and a high-speed camera. This combination allows obtaining a series of images of the solar chromosphere with high detail.
The programs allow combining a large number of source frames into a final image, after which the specialist performs the final processing.
