Method on Using Shadow Altitude to Remove Geocoronal H alpha

This episode discusses a paper titled "Method on Using Shadow Altitude to Remove Geocoronal H alpha." The hosts explain how this method uses viewing geometry, specifically shadow altitude, to predict and remove geocoronal H alpha emission from astronomical observations. They highlight its low scatter rate and how it allows for reliable studies of Galactic H alpha using lower spectral resolution data.
