Electronic imaging in astronomy detectors and instrumentation
This book describes the remarkable developments that have taken place in astronomical detectors and instrumentation in recent years, from the invention of the charge-coupled device, or CCD, in 1970, through to the current era of Very Large Telescopes - the Keck telescopes in Hawaii, the ESO VLT, and...
