Description:
Description of the design and operation of an SEC vidicon camera system, and review of some of the astronomical observations performed with it. Following a discussion of the main system and instrumentation features and a delineation of present and future software tasks, the preliminary series of observations obtained in conjunction with the 36-inch telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory is briefly surveyed. These observations include (1) exposures on the Orion Nebula through various narrow-band interference filters, and (2) exposures on the galaxy Messier 82 in white light and with medium band filters.
