Application Note
Optical Location of Tracking CCD
in SBIG Large Format Cameras
January 20, 2004

The drawings on this page represent the optical location of the tracking CCD relative to the center of imaging CCD and the apreture of the camera's accessory plate.  The CCD sizes are the active imaging area only and not the mechanical size of the part.  The tracking CCD is actually mounted at right angles to the imaging CCD and is illuminated by a mirror.   This information is provided for those who wish to calculate the relative fields of view of each CCD and for input to planetarium programs such as TheSky for generating field of view indicators.
