      Types of stray lightAnalysis of causesCharacteristics of stray lightThe method to distinguish
      Aperture diffracted lightThe aperture is exposed directly to sunlightImagining in front of the collimator group and in the filter area;bright spots at the edge of the field of view;reduce imagining contrastA bright,sharp aperture around the field of view
      Ghost pointSecondary reflection of the objectiveImagining in front of the collimator group and in the filter area;spot in the center of the ghost plane;reduce imagining contrastThe ghost point moves in the opposite direction of the coronagraph objective
      Objective scattering pointSurface defects and contaminants of the objectiveImagining in front of the collimator group and in the filter area;the position of the image point on the ghost plane is center symmetric with the position of the scattering point on the objective;reduce imagining contrastThe image point rotates in the same direction as the objective
