An important aspect of this program is that the observational data from this campaign will be made available to all interested solar physicists. The instrument that is proposed will be a small, low-scattered- light refracting telescope consisting of a 15-cm doublet, a fast guider, a 0.2 nm CaII K filter and several additional filters for continuum observations at other wavelengths, and a commercial 2048x2048 CCD camera. The entire enclosed telescope package will be on an equatorial mount. Data rates will be sufficiently low that a pc-class computer can be used for both telescope control and data acquisition. This proposal will aid in making the High-Degree Helioseismometer data available to the community. This instrument, which was operated last year at the South Pole, has been installed at the Kitt Peak Vacuum Telescope, and is now producing high-quality Ca K-line images. With the modest help requested here, these data will be made available to the community on a weekly basis. This will start important science associated with the Sun's variable radiative output now. In addition, the project can begin purchasing equipment needed for a future RISE PSPT telescope.

该计划的一个重要方面是，将向所有感兴趣的太阳能物理学家提供该活动的观察数据。 拟议的仪器将是一个小的，低散射的光折射望远镜，该望远镜由15厘米双重的，快速指南，0.2 nm CAII K滤波器和其他波长的连续观测和其他几个过滤器组成，以及其他波长的连续观测和商业2048x2048 CCD摄像头。 整个封闭式望远镜软件包将在赤道安装座上。 数据速率将足够低，可以将PC级计算机用于望远镜控制和数据采集。 该提案将有助于使社区提供高度的热震力计数据。 该仪器于去年在南极操作，已安装在Kitt Peak真空望远镜上，现在正在生产高质量的Ca K-line图像。 在此处要求的适度帮助下，这些数据将每周提供给社区。 这将启动与Sun的可变辐射输出相关的重要科学。 此外，该项目可以开始购买未来RISE PSPT望远镜所需的设备。
