Search for Hydrogen-alpha Emitting Cool Pockets in Corona During the Total Solar Eclipse of October 24, 1995

Abstract

Narrow pass band hydrogen alpha filtergrams were obtained during totality at Kalpi, to look for cool pockets of H-alpha emission in corona first observed by Bappu and Bhattacharyya during the 1970 Mexican eclipse observations. A 1k XIk liquid cooled CCD camera was used to record the corona using 2 cm colar image. No evidence of any H-alpha emitting pockets was found in the observed part of the Corona.
