Looking Inside an Atmospheric Hole


Looking Inside an Atmospheric Hole
To penetrate the atmospheric sky hole and look inside to see the portion invisible to human eyes, I ran an image processing program to examine optical properties in greater depth and detail.

As can be seen, the small area is not clear or an actual hole, because it contains a large amount of obscuration. This would interfere with telescope observations and create distortions in the final image. The next step is to optically polarize the region, then introduce a series of physical and optical spectroscopic filtering for water vapor.
