Figure 10

Possible commerciallyavailable parts for MegaTORTORA. (a) Andor iXon^EM+888 1024×1024 EM-CCD with 13 𝜇m pixel size, up to 95% quantum efficiency, 9 frames per second frame rate, and less than 1 e⁻ read-out noise in high gain regime. (b) Canon EF 85 f/1.2 L USM II objective, which may provide 9×9 degree field of view with 31^′′ pixel scale for this CCD. (c) Marshall Electronics 140 mm f/1.0 lens, which will give 5.4×5.4 degree field with 19^′′ pixel scale.
