CCD Detectors at Lick Observatory
The data here are mostly derived from measurements made in the Lick
Detector Lab in Santa Cruz. Data from other sources (as measured at the
telescope for instance) are noted where appropriate. The data in these
files should be considered the most accurate and current although some
values (such as readout noise) are sensitive to actual and sometimes changing
operating circumstances and should be checked at the telescope during the
observing run to get the most accurate values.
