And the answer is....
"The CCD Camera Cookbook", by Richard Berry, Veikko Kanto, & John Munger.
Many astro-nuts (with patience and skill, but not necessarily electrical
engineering degrees) were using the practical step-by-step details in this
book to build their own digital cameras for astroimaging before such cameras
became commercially available at reasonably low cost. The two cameras in
this book are based on the tiny Texas Instruments 211 and 245 sensors, but
the associated electronics for a larger chip are essentially identical.
