Descripción
The GTC Acquisition Cameras and Wavefront Sensors are based on a modular design with remote, low-profile and lightweight CCD heads and a compact CCD controller. The cameras employ E2V Technologies Peltier cooled CCD47-20 and CCD39-01 detectors, which achieve 1Hz and 200Hz full frame readouts, respectively. The CCD controller is a modified version of the Magellan CCD controller (Greg Burley - OCIW), which is linked to the GTC control system. We present the detailed design and first performance results of the cameras.
