Zusammenfassung |
A two-step procedure to calibrate the spectral sensitivity to visible light
of auroral all-sky cameras is outlined. Center pixel response is obtained by
the use of a Lambertian surface and a standard 45 W tungsten lamp. Screen
brightness is regulated by the distance between the lamp and the screen.
All-sky flat-field correction is carried out with a 1 m diameter integrating
sphere. A transparent Lexan dome at the exit port of the sphere is used to
simulate observing conditions at the Kjell Henriksen Observatory (KHO). A
certified portable low brightness source from Keo Scientific Ltd was used
to test the procedure. Transfer lamp certificates in units of Rayleigh per
Ångstrøm (R/Å) are found to be within a relative error of 2%. An all-sky
camera flat-field correction method is presented with only 6 required
coefficients per channel. |
