The Hα observation is a powerful tool to study the high-energy aspect of solar flares. Spiky brightenings of flare kernels at the Hα center reflect the rapid fluctuation in particle acceleration; linear polarization of Hα emission might be evidence of accelerated protons; red-shifts of the Hα line are caused by the chromospheric evaporation. To study the spiky brightenings of flare kernels with high-cadence imaging at the Hα center, a high-speed Hα camera for the Solar Flare Telescope at Mitaka, NAOJ, had been developed and it started the regular observation in 2001 July. However, the polarimetry and the Dopplermetry are also important and they are required to be carried out in parallel with the high-cadence imaging at the Hα center. Then, we upgraded the original high-speed Hα camera to a new Hα camera system for the multi-aspect Hα observations, which performs all of the high-cadence imaging, the linear polarization measurements, and the off-band imaging for velocity measurements. The new system started the observation in 2002 July. In this paper, the multi-aspect Hα imaging system is described and sample Hα images are presented.
