Phase retardation caused by the Gr6gory-Coud6 telescope at Locarno is determined empirically and compared with calculations. Good agreement is found for a proper retardation angle A = 16 ~ for each of the two plane mirrors in the telescope. The praxis of compensation by means of two 2/8-plates (Bow

The usefulness of magnetically sensitive iron lines Fe )`5250.2, 6173.3 and 6302.3 for solar polarimetry is investigated. The line-to-continuum absorption coefficient ~/0 for Fe 25250.2 depends strongly on temperature variations. Thus a photospheric calibration of polarimeter signals cannot be used
Observations of regular and irregular polarimetric variability in late-type stars are reviewed, and the related physical and geometrical effects are discussed. There are indications that the irregular part of the variability could be caused by transient events, possibly associated with flares. Polar
