Schematic showing the four slits (1, 2, 3, and 4) in the VELC spectrograph when the LSM is in the home position. Solar north is straight up and east is to the left. The inner black circle represents the occulting disk. The area shown in white is the FoV. The coronal regions that can be observed with slits 2 and 3 are restricted to the coronal regions above the north and south of the occulting disk.
