CCD (Charged Coupled Device) is a computer chip that picks up light waves and transmits them to a computer image. The equipment is very expensive, some go as high as $10,000!! However there are some CCD's that cost around $600 or so and of course there is the Cookbook CCD do-it-yourself. You will need a computer and special Off-axis guiding equipment, and other stuff. I can be costly, but when working right, the rewards are great. |
