Finger Lakes Instruments: George Fazekas, Gregory Terence and Charles Sinsofsky (Mega Images) Mega pixel CCD cameras can be used to obtain near photo quality images of the night sky. In this presentation Gregory Terence and Charles Sinsofsky will show some of the images that they have obtained using mega pixel CCD cameras, based on the KAF260 and KAF1300 chips, and talk about their experience using this type of camera. This will be followed by a discussion of the technical aspects of the FLI cameras.
