CookBook 245 Astronomical CCD Camera |
|
These are photos of the astronomical CCD camera I built at home following the
recipe in the book The CCD Camera Cookbook by Berry, Kanto and Munger. The Cookbook camera
was developed by two radioamateurs, Veikko Kanto, KB7UCZ and John Munger, N7WBQ,
The TC245 CCD frame transfer chip can be seen in this photo (left). Building the camera head almost requires the skills and care of a neurosurgeon. The camera's power supply (right) was built using 100% parts from my junk-box, it was great fun recycling all those items, from a car battery charger to an old computer power supply.
