The CCDs currently available on the ING telescopes are described in Chapter
,
although the availability of CCDs changes rapidly, and users should contact
the RGO for the latest information. Information on CCD availability is published
regularly in Spectrum. The CCDs in most common use at the time of writing
are EEV P88300 1242 x 1152 pixel chips (thick), and Tektronix 1024 pixel square
thinned chips. A small
format thinned GEC chip is available at the INT.
Field sizes quoted in Table
are for some of these chips.
