Descripción
We have designed, constructed, and put into operation a large-area CCD
camera that covers a large fraction of the image plane of the 1 m
Schmidt telescope at Llano del Hato in Venezuela. The camera consists of
16 CCD devices arranged in a 4×4 mosaic covering 2.3d×3.5d
of sky. The CCDs are 2048×2048 LORAL devices with 15 μm pixels.
The camera is optimized for drift-scan photometry and objective-prism
spectroscopy. The design considerations, construction features, and
performance parameters are described in the following paper.
