Description:
We present the results of an investigation of the in-orbit performance of the Digicon detectors in the Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS), conducted as part of the commissioning phase of the Hubble Space Telescope. This paper includes orbital results on detector background noise, sensor image stability, and photometric stability along with several typical FOS observations. New techniques for suppressing cosmic ray induced background and geomagnetic induced image motion in electron tube detectors are also discussed.
