CCD200 Detector Astronomical Camera clicks 1500 images per second
Posted By: Atul Roach | Jun 19 2009
The CCD200 Camera (OCam) with its novel technology and the surreal ability to click 1500 images per second sounds "heavenly." Maybe it did not fall from the stars, but I am sure you can have the possible shots of the astronomical bodies sitting here on Earth. No wonder, it stakes its (rightful) claim as the world's fastest and the most sensitive astronomical camera and Norbert Hubin, head of the Adaptive Optics for ESO space agency, affirms this assertion. The only real glitch is that it can click images to the size 240 x 240, but when you consider that the digital noise is ten times less than the detectors used on VLT, it all evens out in the end.
