Abstract

The design and implementation of astronomical cameras based on the large-format CCD and CMOS detectors is described in this paper. The Dinacon-5 controller is used for work with the CCDs and to achieve high performance and low noise. A new controller is designed for CMOS sensors. The main characteristics of the provided systems are estimated on the basis of experimental data. The spatial autocorrelation analysis is applied for PSF estimation. The obtained test results are presented.
