High cadence visible and infrared spectra of the Sun during eclipse

Graph of raw counts are plotted against wavelength in air for spectral lines
Friday, February 1, 2019

We study visible and infrared spectra, from 310 nm to 5 microns, obtained during the 21st August 2017 eclipse. The instruments were situated at Camp Wyoba (altitude 2402 m) on Casper Mountain, WY.
