Vulcan Camera-III


The Vulcan project's Camera-III was built at NASA Ames Research Center around a Spectral Instruments 560-series camera with a Kodak KAF16800 4k x 4k CCD and a Canon EF300 f/2.8 lens. The CCD has 9 micron pixels corresponding to 6 arcseconds on the sky. The total field of view of the photometer is 7º x 7º.
