This has been brewing inside my head for a few months, so maybe it's
whacked...
I did some wandering around the web a while back for CCD info and found
that the astro folks have a home-brew CCD camera that they attach to their
telescopes and seems pretty respectable. They have the advantage of being
able to set a computer next to it.
For work and other sources, I've become aware of Zoran's COACH
(camera-on-a-chip) products, which do most of the hard work of a digital
camera (i.e. read the CCD, compress the image, write the image to the FLASH,
etc.) and have available a set of software tools and a reference design.
We're not talking high resolution here thorugh (1.3 megapixel tops,
probably).
What do people think of the possibility of designing our own CCD back for a
Pentax camera (assuming, of course, that Pentax isn't coming out with one
anytime soon)?
thanks,
