This CCD started our development of the large format Research line of cameras.  The same CCD was used in our previous ST-1001E
camera.  However, there were some limitations on the earlier model which have been eliminated with this design.  The previous
model did not have a self-guiding CCD or matching 2" filter wheel due to physical constraints in the smaller ST camera body. 
Also, the predecessor model used the slower parallel interface.  These things are now resolved with the larger Research Model
camera body, 2" internal filter carousel and high speed USB electronics.
