pixelscale = 0.6 arcsec image scale = 120 arcsec/mm focal length = 1720 mm

DiameterSynoptic Network Workshop, Boulder 22.-24.4.20133 resolution according to sampling theorem: 1.2 arcsec = 5.8 rad D = 1.22 / 5.8E-6 minimum Diameter w.r.t resolution = 0.1 m

Bandwidth, SNRSynoptic Network Workshop, Boulder 22.-24.4.20134Assumed bandwidth: 0.005 nm ( 50 m)Assumed Exposure time: 0.005 s

Image stabilization needed, dual beam polarimetry desirableExample: shift by 0.1 pixel 10-2 noise

Image stabilization?Synoptic Network Workshop, Boulder 22.-24.4.201310Main cause probably instrumental:spatial dimensions: 1m 1 arcsec corresp. 5 mLimb sensor vs. Correlation trackerTiptilt mirrorrelay optics?Solar Orbiter (PHI) concept?

Optical Design OptionsSynoptic Network Workshop, Boulder 22.-24.4.201311Design driving parameters:DetectorSNR @ typical exposure time

RefractorSynoptic Network Workshop, Boulder 22.-24.4.201312Good performance, limited diameter

Example: Chrotel (KIS)

Example: MaksutovSynoptic Network Workshop, Boulder 22.-24.4.201313

+ Potential for evacuation- D = 200 mm, FOV = 0.5 deg10 mExample: Ritchey-Chretien CassegrainSynoptic Network Workshop, Boulder 22.-24.4.201314

D = 600 mm, FOV = 0.5 degMight need a field corrector if largerneeds baffling (daylight blindness)SummarySynoptic Network Workshop, Boulder 22.-24.4.201315Basic requirement: SNRImage stabilization if necessary has large impact on the designDiameter not determined by resolution arguments telescope doesnt need to be diffraction limitedEvacuation should be considered (catadioptric system?)Ritchey-Chretien promising.
