The 36-cm Telescope and Wright Instruments CCD Imaging Performances

Used on 36-cm telescope from 1990 until April 2000. CCD camera performance CCD Sensor EEV CCD02-06-1-206 578x385 pixels, 22 um x 22 um pixel size, thinned, backside illuminated Quantum efficiency 65% over the 430-650nm bandpass (check this CCD QE Curve for more details) Cooling four stage Peltier at -76oC Dark current 0.06e-/sec ADU Conversion 4.7e- per ADU Field of view 10.5 arcmin x 6.9 arcmin (at f/11); 16.7 arcmin x 10.9 arcmin (at f/6.7) Data format FITS (16-bit) Available broad band filters Standard B, V, R and I (*) Guiding facilities ST-4 CCD autoguider Limiting magnitude about 18m in one minute exposure with V filter (*) - Standard BVRI CCD photometric filters are according to "Glass filters for coated CCDs" proposed by Bessell [Bessell, M.S. (1990), PASP, 102, 1181] which match the standard BVRI passbands. Check our Image Gallery for the finest images we obtained with this CCD.
