The device has a CCD or CMOS sensor that regularly takes short exposures of an area of sky near the object.

An autoguider need not be an independent unit; some high-end CCD imaging units (such as those offered by SBIG) have a second, integrated CCD sensor on the same plane as the main imaging chip that is dedicated to autoguiding.
The CCD placed particular emphasis on calling for the Canadian government to adopt a pro-Israel stance, and rejected providing Palestinians with any development or humanitarian assistance and was very critical of the Muslim world and, in particular, of groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
The CCD won silver in 'Best Overseas Conference Centre' in the M&IT Industry Awards 2011, second to The Grimaldi Forum in Monaco and beating Bella Center, Copenhagen and The Las Vegas Convention Center.
In 1969 Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith invented the first successful imaging technology using a digital sensor, a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device).
Observers at Kyoto University carried out V band CCD photometry with the 60 cm reflector and detected superhumps of 0.1 mag amplitude, thus reclassifying DM Lyrae as an SU UMa star.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) legislation specified HL7 versions 2.3.1 and 2.5.1, and the HL7 Continuity of Care Document (CCD), as the healthcare standards to meet certain certification requirements.
It was later revised to 0.85 but can go higher than 0.9, when fixed pixel scanning (e.g., CCD or CMOS) and fixed pixel displays (e.g., LCD or plasma) are used, or as low as 0.7 for electron gun scanning.
The blue CCD captures stellar activities while the red CCD falls into a temperature controlled Iodine absorption cell is mounted in front of the MIKE entrance slit, this imprints iodine spectrum referencing directly to starlight.
Vision-Based Navigation uses optical sensors include laser-based range finder and photometric cameras using CCD arrays to extract the visual features required to the localization in the surrounding environment.
When the joke was released in 2000, a remarkably similar device was under development at Foveon—the Foveon X3 image sensor, which is multi-layered but is not a CCD.
He is known for his deep sky CCD images and his contributions to education and public outreach.
The original development team included NASA Civil Servant electronic and mechanical design and fabrication, Lockheed development of the Electronic Still Camera ground station, Nikon Engineering supplying a modified Nikon F4 camera body, and Ford Aerospace and JPL development of the CCD image sensor.
These have also been coupled with purchases of the Israeli LORROS (Long Range Observation and Sighting System) which is a combination of FLIR/CCD system for long range day/night surveillance.
TREF: performs the TREF technique (Temperature Rising Elution Fractionation) for the characterization of CCD in Polyolefins.
Fluorescence signal is detected either using ultra sensitive CCD or CMOS cameras for wide field microscopy or avalanche photodiodes for confocal microscopy.
He is known for his freewares WinAstrometry (used at many Italian amateur observatories for the calculation of the astrometric positions of the asteroids from CCD images) and waEphemeris, a minor planets ephemeris.
In June 1998, Buttiglione led the party into the Democratic Union for the Republic (UDR), a new Christian democratic outfit launched by Francesco Cossiga and Clemente Mastella, who had left CCD to form the Christian Democrats for the Republic (CDR).
Wallace is the birthplace of Simon Newcomb, the astronomer and mathematician, and the hometown of figure skater John Mattatall as well as the retirement residence of 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics co-winner Willard Boyle co-inventor of the charge-coupled device or the CCD imaging chip at the heart of digital cameras, and Raymond Legend of the EASHL Hartford Whalers.
The facilities include a 24-inch Boller and Chivens reflector with a CCD and retrofitted with a DFM control system, a 12" Fitz/Clark refractor, a 6" Alvan Clark refractor, a Hale Spectrohelioscope, and six Meade 8" SCTs.
