New Detector on the JKT
The JKT now has a new detector: SITe 2. This 2k square CCD overfills the JKT imaging port and gives a field of view of 10'×10'. This detector previously had problems with readout speed and linearity. Both these have now been solved. The detector is highly linear and when windowed down to 1k×1k pixels will read out in approximately the same time as a TEK CCD. Pending on the result of user feedback this may become the JKT default detector. A true-colour picture of M13 taken with this new detector is shown below.
