Telescopic phase retardation in connection with the polarizer behind a polarimeter's KDP-crystal strongly influences the Zeeman pattern, since the circular polarized parts of the two σ-components are strengthened and weakened respectively. This influence depends on the hour angle if the solar image rotates with respect to the polarizer (e.g. for Coudé telescopes).
