Description

The Precision Solar Photometric Telescope (PSPT)
is the centerpiece of the National Science Foundation Radiative
Inputs from Sun to Earth (RISE) program whose aim is to measure
and understand variability in the solar radiative output. The PSPT
produces seeing-limited full-disk (2048x2048 with 1.05"/pixel)
images in the blue continuum (409.4nm, FWHM 0.3nm), red continuum
(607.1nm, FWHM 0.5nm), CaII K (393.4nm, FWHM 0.3nm), CaII K Narrow
Band Wing (NBW) (393.6nm, FWHM 0.1nm), and CaII K Narrow Band Core
(NBC) (393.4nm, FWHM 0.1nm), with an unprecedented 0.1% pixel-to-
pixel relative photometric precision.
