Abstract

Using a BURT telescope for the study of the relation between horizontal and equatorial coordinates. By using BURT archive files on observation for sun. Four files for sun observation have been used at different observation parameters, such as date and time. These files are assigned by file 1, file 2, file 3, and file 4. These observations are carried out at different horizontal coordinate (El) ranges, which are almost covered from horizon to zenith (28 to 32 for file 1, 54 to 59 for file 2, 64 to 69 for file 3, and 42 to 52 for file 4). These horizontal coordinates will be almost covered in the equatorial coordinate (DEC) range (-19 to -24 for file 1, 7 to 12 foe file 2, 8 to 14 for file 3, 9 to 19 for file 4). The BURT raster area scan technique is studied at different area sizes (ASH) and step sizes (SSH). This technique uses horizontal coordinates, and the corresponding area sizes (ASE) and step sizes (SSE) in equatorial coordinates are also studied for each observation files.
