Page 22: Camera Field Of View
Section 1 - Introduction 1.1.19. Camera Field of View The field of view that your camera will see through a given telescope is determined by the focal length of the telescope and the physical size of the CCD chip. This also has nothing to do with the number of pixels. -
Page 23: Focal Length, Resolution And Field Of View
Section 1 - Introduction 1.1.20. Focal Length, Resolution and Field of View From the forgoing we see that neither resolution alone, nor field of view alone, are dependent solely on the number of pixels of a sensor. So when are more pixels better? The key word in the first sentence is “alone.”... -

Page 27: Introduction To Ccd Cameras
Section 2 - Introduction to CCD Cameras Introduction to CCD Cameras This section introduces new users to CCD (Charge Coupled Device) cameras and their capabilities and to the field of CCD Astronomy and Electronic Imaging. 2.1. Cameras in General The CCD is very good at the most difficult astronomical imaging problem: imaging small, faint objects. -
Page 28: Full Frame And Frame Transfer / Interline Ccds
2.2.1. Full Frame and Frame Transfer / Interline CCDs In the STL-1301E, STL-1001E and STL-6303E, the CCD is read out electronically by shifting each row of pixels into a readout register at the Y=0 position of the CCD (shown in Figure 2.1), and then shifting the row out through an amplifier at the X=0 position. - Page 29 Section 2 - Introduction to CCD Cameras Figure 2.2 - CCD System Block Diagram As you can see from Figure 2.2, the cameras are completely self-contained.

Section 2 - Introduction to CCD Cameras possible readout noise. At 10e to 15e rms per read these cameras are unsurpassed in performance. 2.4.3. Dark Frames No matter how much care is taken to reduce all sources of unwanted noise, some will remain. Fortunately, however, due to the nature of electronic imaging and the use of computers for storing and manipulating data, this remaining noise can be drastically reduced by the subtraction of a dark frame from the raw light image. - Page 33 However, the system with 36 inches focal length would have a larger field of view and more faint detail due to the faster optic. The STL-1001E, with its 24 micron pixels would have the same relationship at roughly 195 inches focal length.

Section 2 - Introduction to CCD Cameras observer. In addition to the software provided with the camera, there are a number of commercial programs available which will process and enhance electronic images. Images may be made to look sharper, smoother, darker, lighter, etc. Brightness, contrast, size, and many other aspects of the image may be adjusted in real time while viewing the results on the computer screen. - Page 36 Section 2 - Introduction to CCD Cameras images electronically to produce a color composite or RGB color image. The Research model cameras contain internal motorized color filter wheel. When filters are installed in the filter wheel, light entering the camera passes through the colored filter before it strikes the CCD. An object is then exposed using a red filter.

Section 3 - At the Telescope with a CCD Camera star diameter. This can be tedious. It helps considerably if a pointer or marker is affixed to the focus knob so you can rapidly return to the best focus once you've gone through it. For critical focus, an exposure of about 1 second is recommended to smooth out some of the atmospheric effects. -
Page 40: Displaying The Image
Section 3 - At the Telescope with a CCD Camera Because the Research Series cameras have regulated temperature control, you may prefer to take and save separate dark images, building up a library at different temperatures and exposure times, and reusing them on successive nights. At the start it's probably easiest to just take the dark frames when you are taking the image. -
Page 41: Sub-Frame Readout In Focus
Section 3 - At the Telescope with a CCD Camera 3.9.2. Sub-Frame Readout in Focus The Focus command offers several frame modes for flexibility and increased frame throughput. As previously discussed, the Full frame mode shows the entire field of view of the CCD with the highest resolution, digitizing and displaying all pixels. -
Page 42: Autoguiding And Self Guiding
Section 3 - At the Telescope with a CCD Camera 3.9.4. Autoguiding and Self Guiding The CCDOPS software allows the Research Series cameras to be used as autoguiders and self- guiders through the commands in the Track menu. While these systems are not stand-alone like the old ST-4, but require a host computer, they can accurately guide long duration astrophotographs and CCD images with equal or superior accuracy. -
Page 43: Auto Grab
Section 3 - At the Telescope with a CCD Camera 3.9.5. Auto Grab The Auto Grab command allows you to take a series of images at a periodic interval and log the images to disk. This can be invaluable for monitoring purposes such as asteroid searches or stellar magnitude measurements. -

Section 4 – Camera Hardware Camera Hardware This section describes the modular components that make up the CCD Camera System and how they fit into the observatory, with all their connections to power and other equipment. 4.1. System Components The Research Series CCD cameras consist of four major components: the CCD Sensors and Preamplifier, the Readout/Clocking Electronics, the Microcontroller, and the power supply. -
Page 46: Using Mechanical Relays
Section 4 – Camera Hardware single 10 minute exposure except that no guiding is required. The reason no guiding is required is that with most modern telescope mounts the drift over the relatively short 1 minute interval is small enough to preserve round star images, a feat that even the best telescope mounts will not maintain over the longer ten minute interval. - Page 47 Section 4 – Camera Hardware If your hand controller is from a relatively recent model telescope it probably has four buttons that have a "push to make" configuration. By "push to make" we mean that the switches have two contacts that are shorted together when the button is pressed. If that's the case then it is a simple matter of soldering the Common and Normally Open leads of the appropriate relay to the corresponding switch, without having to cut any traces, as shown in Figure 4.1 below.

An STL-11000M with its full well capacity of 50,000e could produce an image with a S/N in excess of 200! Antiblooming – Some SBIG CCD cameras have antiblooming protection. The TC-237 autoguider has antiblooming built into the CCDs.

Page 52: Connecting Accessories To The Camera
4.7. Battery Operation The STL-4020M, STL-1301E, STL-1001E, STL-11000M and STL-6303E can be operated off of a 12 volt car or marine battery using a the optional 12V power cord. The camera draws approximately 4 amps from the battery (5 amps with the Remote Guiding Head attached) so it would not be wise to operate directly from your car battery all night without aback up battery. -

Section 5 – Advanced Imaging Techniques Advanced Imaging Techniques With practice, you will certainly develop methods of your own to get the most from your CCD camera. In this section we offer some suggestions to save you time getting started in each of the different areas outlined below, but these suggestions are by no means exhaustive. -
Page 54: Taking A Good Flat Field
Section 5 – Advanced Imaging Techniques 5.4. Taking a Good Flat Field If you find that flat field corrections are necessary due to vignetting effects, CCD sensitivity variations, or for more accurate measurements of star magnitudes, try either taking an image of the twilight sky near the horizon or take an image of a blank wall or neutral grey card. -
Page 55: Flat Fielding Track And Accumulate Images
Section 5 – Advanced Imaging Techniques sensational for displaying faint nebulosity with short exposure times. In Auto Resolution Mode, the camera and software will always use High Resolution for all imaging and display functions except when you are in Full Frame Focus Mode. It will then automatically switch to Low Resolution Mode. -

Section 8 – Glossary Common Problems This section discusses some of the more common problems others have encountered while using our CCD cameras. You should check here if you experience difficulties, and if your problem still persists please contact us to see if we can work it out together. Achieving Good Focus - Achieving a good focus is one of the most difficult areas in working with CCD cameras due to the lack of real time feedback when focusing. -
Page 64: Glossary
Section 8 – Glossary insert a 12-20mm eyepiece, focusing the eyepiece by sliding it in and out of the eyepiece holder, not by adjusting the telescope's focus mechanism. Center the object carefully (to within 10% of the total field) and then replace the CCD optical head. Since the head was fully seated against the eyepiece holder when you started, fully seating it upon replacement will assure the same focus. - Page 65 Section 8 – Glossary CCDs with the antiblooming option can be used to help stop or at least reduce blooming when the brighter parts of the image saturate. Astrometry - Astrometry is the study of stellar positions with respect to a given coordinate system.
