Many cameras other than astronomical CCDs now use CCD chips. Video camcorders and digital cameras are good examples. Most camcorders have CCDs with arrays of a few hundred pixels on a side.

New high-res CCD cameras from SBIG offer sensitivity and flexibility for astrophotography and spectography.

Using a virtual-phase, thermoelectrically cooled CCD, a relatively inexpensive but very sensitive slow-scan camera has been built. The primary purpose is for field acquisition and guiding with the ...

A CCD -- a larger and more sensitive version of the imaging technology found in everyday digital cameras -- will enable the astronomers to determine the ages of these stars and unravel the secrets ...

CCD imagers have advantages over visual observers. Even under light-polluted skies, a small telescope with virtually any digital-imaging device will reveal details not attainable visually.

Hubble's CCD cameras don't measure the color of the incoming light directly. But the telescope does have various filters that can be applied to let in only a specific wavelength range, or color ...
