<p>Serendipitous observations of airless bodies of the inner solar system provide a unique means to the calibration of instruments on meteorological research satellites, because the physical properties of their surfaces change very little, even on large time scales. We investigated how certain instrumental effects can be characterised with observations of the Moon and Mercury. For this we identified and analysed intrusions of the Moon in the deep space views of HIRS/2, /3, and /4 (High-resolution Infrared Sounder) on various satellites in polar orbits and as well some images obtained with SEVIRI (Spinning Enhanced Visible Infra-Red Imager) on MSG-3 and -4 (Meteosat Second Generation), which had Mercury standing close to the Earth in the rectangular field of view.</p><p>A full-disk, infrared Moon model was developed that describes how the lunar flux density depends on phase angle and wavelength. It is particularly helpful for inter-calibration, checks of the photometric consistency of the sounding channels, and the calculation of an upper limit on the non-linearity of the shortwave channels of HIRS. In addition, we used the Moon to determine the co-registration of the different spectral channels.</p><p>Studies of the channel alignment are also presented for SEVIRI, an infrared sounder with an angular resolution about a hundred times better than HIRS. As we wanted to check the image quality of this instrument with a quasi-point source as well, we replaced here the Moon with Mercury. We found the typical smearing of the point spread function in the scan direction and occasionally a nearby ghost image, which is three to four times fainter than the main image of the planet. Both effects cause additional uncertainties of the photometric calibration.  </p>

Context. Historical Ca II K spectroheliograms (SHG) are unique in representing long-term variations of the solar chromospheric magnetic field. They usually suffer from numerous problems and lack photometric calibration. Thus accurate processing of these data is required to get meaningful results from their analysis. Aims. In this paper we aim at developing an automatic processing and photometric calibration method that provides precise and consistent results when applied to historical SHG. Methods. The proposed method is based on the assumption that the centre-to-limb variation of the intensity in quiet Sun regions does not vary with time. We tested the accuracy of the proposed method on various sets of synthetic images that mimic problems encountered in historical observations. We also tested our approach on a large sample of images randomly extracted from seven different SHG archives. Results. The tests carried out on the synthetic data show that the maximum relative errors of the method are generally <6.5%, while the average error is <1%, even if rather poor quality observations are considered. In the absence of strong artefacts the method returns images that differ from the ideal ones by <2% in any pixel. The method gives consistent values for both plage and network areas. We also show that our method returns consistent results for images from different SHG archives. Conclusions. Our tests show that the proposed method is more accurate than other methods presented in the literature. Our method can also be applied to process images from photographic archives of solar observations at other wavelengths than Ca II K.

We have done photometric calibration of the 60 cm Nedeljkovic telescope equipped with the FLI PL 230 CCD camera, mounted at the Astronomical Station Vidojevica (Serbia), using standard stars from the Landolt catalog. We have imaged 31 fields of standard stars using Johnson's BVRI filters during three nights in August 2019. We have measured both extinction and color correction. Relating our calibrated magnitudes to the magnitudes of standard stars from the Landolt catalog, we have achieved accuracy of 2%-5% for the BVRI magnitudes.
