SCIENTIFIC DETECTORS FOR ASTRONOMY: THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA
The Magellan guider camera uses a low-noise frame transfer CCD with a digital signal processor based controller. The electronics feature a compact, simple design, optimized for fast settling times and rapid readout rate. The camera operates (nominally) at 20 degreesC with thermoelectric cooling. Multiple operating modes are supported, with software selectable binning, exposure times, and subrastering.
