CCD Camera Systems
Important Parameters
Some important parameters that should be considered when evaluating astronomical CCD cameras:
- pixel size in microns
- number of pixels in detector array (width x height)
- quantum efficiency
- blue sensitivity
- read noise (electrons/pixel)
- cooling (degrees C below ambient)
- dark noise at -20o C (electrons/pixel)
- control software availability
- filter wheel availability
- focuser availability
- download speed
- cost
