Amateur Polarimetric Research
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The construction of both single- and twin-channel polarimeters was described. Refractors are suitable for this form of work, and Cassegrains may be used, but Newtonians are not recommended, because of the polarization it introduces. A summary of objects and their degree of polarization was given. Examples of variation in the amount of polarization and its correlation with visual observations of μ Cephei were given.
