Wide Field Imaging and Photometry by 2k × 2k CCD
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 July 2016
Abstract
The Ford Aerospace 2048 × 2048 CCD with UV coating is used at the BAO 60/90 cm f/3 Schmidt telescope focal plane, giving a field-of-view of about one square degree and spatial resolution of 1.67 arcsecond per pixel. The paper reviews the following topics:
1) basic performance of the system;
2) anti-blooming technique for a large field CCD;
3) flat fielding for a large field CCD;
4) photometric properties of compressed images.
