UVB Filters
I am demonstrating my ignorance here...
I've been reading about UVB filters - used in photometry to determine the peak brightness curve for a given star to work out its temperature and therefore other features eg luminosity.
So I looked at the trusty Bintel website and can find naught on these sorts of filters.
My question is this - are these types of filter readily available in Aus? and if so, what sort of CCD camera do I need to use them? I have a modded 350D which will do the trick for the V and B elements but I doubt it has the responsiveness for the ultraviolet component. How about the trusty Orion Autoguider?
I'm looking at a project for my SOA course which calls for some observation using this technology. I suspect that my humble equipment won't do the trick but if its only a modest expense, I might give it a go
Anyone have any info that might help?
Pete
