Fair" UV Coverage for a Multi-resolution John Bunton, CSIRO Telecommunications and Industrial Physics, Australia Introduction If we wish to have a multi-resolution telescope with equal point source sensitivity at all resolutions then we must accept that the baseline distribution of the correlations is predetermined. ... This occurs for each added step in resolution. ... It is seen that for the combined telescope the total number of correlations is 5.17 times the number needed for a single resolution. ...

... December 21, 1997 . ... Advantages are briefly discussed of gaining in spectral resolution, which is accompanied by losses in signal level, as compared with the attempts to improve the accuracy of measurement of line parameters by means of rising the S/N ratio alone with increasing the exposure time. To partially solve the problem of observations of faint objects at the BTA a new design echelle spectrometer is proposed. high resolution spectroscopy . ...

Astrophotography Forum Message . ... The resolution of a CCD camera does not depend on the number of pixels in the camera, rather it depends on the size of the pixels making up the chip and the focal length of the lens forming the image. ... A larger chip made from the same substrate will have identical pixel sizes, just more of them. ... With a fixed focal length telescope we don't have that luxury, in which case smaller pixel size rather than larger chip size is the only way to increase resolution. ...
