SBIG - STL-6303E Class 2

CCD: KAF-6303E/LE Total Pixels: 6.3 million Array: 3072 x 2048 pixels Pixel Size: 9 microns square Antiblooming: Optional Class: 1,2 or 3 Peak QE: 68% Image Area: 27.7 mm x 18.5 mm Focal Length at 1 arcsecond per pixel: 73 inches FOV at 1 arcsecond per pixel: 0.9 x 0.6 degrees Imagine a perfect mosaic of four ST-8XE images stitched together with no overlap. That is the field of view and resolution of the KAF-6303E CCD. With four times the field of view and four times the number of pixels, the 6.3 megapixel Research 6303XE is essentially like having four ST-8XE cameras imaging at once. The 9 micron pixels are small enough that the large field of view can be exploited with relatively modest telescopes of less than 100 inches focal length. High QE, blue sensitive, full frame, high dynamic range, low noise, and optional anti-blooming protection make this one of the most sought after detectors for professional use.
