Auroral all-sky camera calibration
GEOSCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTATION METHODS AND DATA SYSTEMS(2014)
Abstract
A two-step procedure to calibrate the spectral sensitivity to visible light of auroral all-sky cameras is outlined. Center pixel response is obtained by the use of a Lambertian surface and a standard 45W tungsten lamp. Screen brightness is regulated by the distance between the lamp and the screen. All-sky flat-field correction is carried out with a 1m diameter integrating sphere. A transparent Lexan dome at the exit port of the sphere is used to simulate observing conditions at the Kjell Henriksen Observatory (KHO). A certified portable low brightness source from Keo Scientific Ltd was used to test the procedure. Transfer lamp certificates in units of Rayleigh per angstrom ngstrom (R/angstrom) are found to be within a relative error of 2 %. An all-sky camera flat-field correction method is presented with only 6 required coefficients per channel.
