Notes:
An astronomical camera is described which consists of a scanning Fabry–Pérot Interferometric (FPI) system coupled to a charge coupled detector (CCD) imaging system. The Fabry–Pérot etalon equipment consists of a commercially available Queensgate system. The CCD equipment is a commercially available Photometrics system employing one of the early developmental CCD chips of the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) project. The camera is controlled by a Digital Equipment Corporation Microvax II computer. Control of a filter wheel system and other housekeeping duties are done through a Kinetic Systems Camac controller commanded by the computer.
