Abstract
The polarization characteristics of the Jensch coelostat, used at the Sayan observatory, are presented. Results of calculations of the instrumental polarization (IP) are compared with the observations. It is shown that structural features of the Jensch coelostat lead to a very important dependence of the Stokes's parameters, that characterize the IP, on solar coordinates.
