Scientific paper

The present paper describes a technique which allows the measurement of the global sun like a bright star using a small Cassegrain telescope and its backend device. The method is based on the reduction of the solar brightness by high diffraction. It is promising for many astronomical applications, such as the comparison of the solar and stellar energy distributions, albedo measurements of planetary objects, photometry of the sun in any filter system, and variations of solar irradiance. The sun reducer might be useful for various observations from space.
