Analog video magnetograms in real time.Description of a video differential photometer which is the result of an attempt to adapt television technology to the task of producing an electronic equivalent of the photographic subtraction technique. Advantages of electronic subtraction are potentially greater field sensitivity, immediate availability of the subtracted magnetograms (virtually in real time), and greater versatility in combining and comparing image data. Commercial television equipment was used in construction of the apparatus. All video subtraction, averaging, and other processing is done in analog form. The final magnetogram is displayed on an ordinary television monitor.
