This instrument produces H-alpha solar imagery from
Kanzelhoehe Solar Observatory (KSO), Austria. Its main purpose is a
high precision full disk imaging of the photosphere in order to derive
sunspot and faculae areas and positions as well. Other scientific
objectives are studies of the underlying photosphere before, during and
after chromospheric flares, hunting for the mystery white light flares
at the begin of a new solar cycle and providing a data set for
developing an automatic determination of sunspot relative numbers by
image segmentation techniques. The obtained time series will also
continue the support of the Debrecen Photoheliographic Data by daily
synoptic images. The Kanzelhoehe Photosphere Telescope (KPT) is based
on the Kanzelhöhe Photoheliograph (PhoKa) which went into operation in
1989 and was described in detail in Pettauer, T.: 1990, in L. Deszö (ed.),
The Dynamic Sun, Publ. Debrecen Heliophysical Observatory, Debrecen,
p. 62(1990). See http://www.kso.ac.at/instrumente/kpt/kpt_en.php
