Improving the SNR is crucial for obtaining clearer astronomical data. Here are some strategies:
Longer Exposure Times: Increasing the exposure time collects more signal photons, improving the SNR. Aperture Size: Larger telescopes collect more light, enhancing the signal strength. Cooling Detectors: Reducing thermal noise by cooling the detectors. Adaptive Optics: Corrects for atmospheric turbulence in real-time, improving image quality. Filtering: Using narrow-band filters to isolate the desired signal from the noise.
