JSol’Ex

The Sol’Ex, aka Solar Exporer, is an DIY instrument created by Christian Buil which allows imaging the sun, at low cost, but with high quality. It is capable of observing the sun in various spectral rays: H-alpha, calcium, Helium D3, etc. It is used by hundreds of amateur astronomers around the world.

JSol’Ex is a solar images processing software for Christian Buil’s Sol’Ex. It is capable of processing SER files captured with this instrument in order to produce images of the solar disk, in a similar way to what Valérie Desnoux’s INTI, which is the official software for processing your Sol’Ex images, is doing. JSol’Ex is primarily designed to process images for Sol’Ex, but it might work properly for other kinds of spectroheliographs.
