Abstract
We present measurements of seeing-induced crosstalk using spectropolarimetric observations of sunspots recorded simultaneously in the Hα and Ca ii 8662 Å lines with the Kodaikanal Tower Tunnel (KTT) telescope. The Kodaikanal Tower Tunnel telescope is integrated and installed with an image stabilization system consisting of a tip–tilt and an autoguider system. Additionally, the spectropolarimeter at KTT is upgraded to allow for the simultaneous recording of spectropolarimetric observations in three spectral lines. The tip–tilt system is shown to have a cutoff frequency of 80 Hz, effectively reducing the seeing induced crosstalk in the measured Stokes parameters by at least a factor of 2.
