Abstract

We describe the performance expected from a new generation of CCD imagers being developed by Tektronix, and we indicate the types of applications, instruments, and computer systems that can best take advantage of these devices on telescopes both large and small. Since these new detectors will be able to reach very faint limits even on small telescopes, we also describe cost-effective television viewing systems suitable for object acquisition and guiding.
