Abstract

The use of the Grazing Incidence Solar Telescope (GRIST) for the observation of celestial sources other than the Sun in the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) is discussed. By use of galactic point sources as sample objects, the capabilities offered by the presently proposed telescope and its focal plane instruments set are shown to be substantial, in spite of the short duration of a single Shuttle mission. This seems to legitimate complementary technical studies needed to demonstrate the feasibility of stellar pointing.
