Updated to include all of the latest developments in CCDs, this second edition of the Handbook of CCD Astronomy is a concise and accessible reference on all practical aspects of using CCDs. Starting with their electronic workings, it discusses their basic characteristics and then gives methods and examples of how to determine these values. While the book focuses on the use of CCDs in professional observational astronomy, advanced amateur astronomers, and researchers in physics, chemistry, medical imaging, and remote sensing will also find it very valuable. Tables of useful and hard-to-find data, key practical equations, and new exercises round off the book and ensure that it provides an ideal introduction to the practical use of CCDs for graduate students, and a handy reference for more experienced users. 410 0$aCambridge observing handbooks for research astronomers ;$v5. 606 $aAstronomy$xTechnique 606 $aCharge coupled devices 615 0$aAstronomy$xTechnique. 615 0$aCharge coupled devices. 676 $a522/.2 700 $aHowell$b Steve B.$01051580 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457595803321 996 $aHandbook of CCD astronomy$92482197 997 $aUNINA
