Abstract
Measurements of the variation of the Can K line profile using very modest equipment is discussed. The equipment used included a Spex 0.75 meter spectrometer, a Santa Barbara Instrument Group 16 bit ST-6 Charge Coupled Device (CCD) camera, fiber optic cable, and a 10-inch Cassegrain telescope. Observations were made in both regions of little or no solar activity as well as in regions of high solar activity (sunspots). A roughly 8% increase in Ca II K emission was observed over a sunspot. The combination of the unique observing apparatus and the intensity resolution of the CCD camera was essential for the success of the experiment.
