The CCD camera
on the
Brorfelde Schmidt Telescope

The camera was in May 1999 upgraded with a Kodak KAF 4201 CCD , with 2048 x 2048 , 9 micron pixels.
On the telescope, the scale is 1.24 arcsec/pixel, giving a field of view of 42 arcmin.
Here is a test report on the new camera, in HTML format and as a compressed postscript file
