1 A New CCD Camera Project Marco Paolilli
2 UAI CCD is a Do-It-Yourself Project to build an Amateur CCD Camera for Astronomy developed by Claudio Contardi, Mirko Mattioli, Marco Paolilli under support of U.A.I., the Italian Amateur Astronomers Society (Unione Astrofili Italiani -
3 Today's available choices for low cost imaging? Planetary & High Resolution? Webcams 100 euro price - range High quality images Very low cost Easily available Very effective solutions
4 Today's available choices for low cost imaging? Deep-Sky? Modified Webcams (thanks Steve)! 100 euro price - range Very low cost Easily modified Wide choice of solutions : SC1, SC2, SC3,... but
5 Today's available choices for low cost imaging? Deep-Sky? just acceptable results mainly because of 8 bits A/D conversion (loss of sensitivity) standard design for a generic imaging market architecture not optimized for low light still images
6 Today's available choices for low cost imaging? Other Solutions for Deep-Sky? Modified Webcams 100 Price
7 Today's available choices for low cost imaging? Other Solutions for Deep-Sky? Modified Webcams Basic commercial uncooled camera Price
8 Today's available choices for low cost imaging? Other Solutions for Deep-Sky? Modified Webcams 100 Entry point 16 bit Basic cooled commercial camera uncooled camera 500 Price 750
9 Today's available choices for low cost imaging? Other Solutions for Deep-Sky? Modified Webcams 100 Entry point 16 bit Basic cooled commercial camera uncooled camera 500 Price 750 Higher End Commercial Solutions > 1500
10 Today's available choices for low cost imaging? Other Solutions for Deep-Sky? Modified Webcams Entry point 16 bit Basic cooled commercial camera uncooled camera Higher End Commercial Solutions A WIDE GAP Price 750 > 1500
11 Today's available choices for low cost imaging? UAI CCD Project may help to fill the GAP applying a Do-It-Yourself (instead of Buy) Strategy UAI Camera with VGA Sensor 300 UAI Camera with 752x582 Sensor 400 UAI Camera with 1.3Mpixel Sensor 750 Price (Rough estimate using off the shelf components)
12 Today's available choices for low cost imaging? Why does this strategy work? Astronomical imaging is a small market were it's not possible, for large manufacturers, to produce low cost products You don't pay R&D costs You don't pay your time Amateurs have access to many sources of low cost components (electronic flea markets, surplus stuff, samples,...)
13 UAI CCD : Only for low cost reasons? UAI CCD is a Do-It-Yourself Project for people who have An interest in combining skills in electronics with astronomy Curiosity on how thinks work Sense of proud for what they have made by themselves Some time to invest An interest in achieving results with unconventional techniques
14 What's unique in the UAI CCD Project? On the web it's possible to find a few other good projects for amateur made astronomical cameras. UAI CCD is the only Project that : You can reproduce just from downloadable information You have access to the whole Project Documentation (including Diagrams, Schematics, PCBs,...) Last, but not least, it's COMPLETELY FREE! but some Copyright protection applies for commercial use Creative Commons License
15 UAI CCD Technical specifications When we started designing the UAI CCD our goal was a true CCD deep-sky camera with, at least, these technical specs : Support of very high sensitivity, low noise CCD sensors VGA Resolution (640x480) or better (1Mpixel in wish list) Pixel Size not smaller than 5 micron (to match common FL) 16 bits A/D converter (to use the full CCD dynamic range) Thermoelectric cooling (to further reduce thermal noise) USB Download (to connect to latest PCs without parallel or serial ports)
16 UAI CCD Technical specifications At the same time, we wanted to be sure that UAI CCD would be easy to build and reproduce : Using easy-to-find components Using standard (non SMD) technology Using only basic tools for assembly and testing (standard soldering equipment, basic meters, entry level oscilloscopes) and open to expansions and future developments Modular structure Support for a CCD Family Ready for additional accessories :
17 UAI CCD Technical Choices SONY ICX CCD Sensors Family Very wide family of CCD sensors B/W/color, Interline/progressive, 1/4-2/3 Good price/performance ratio Very low cost entry point Easy to find and buy No mechanical shutter needed
18 UAI CCD Technical Choices Sony ICX CCD Sensors Initial support for ICX429ALL (B/W, 1/2, 752x582 pixel, 8.6 x 8.3um, interline) Planned support for ICX424 (B/W & C, 1/3, 659x494 pixel, 7.4 um sq., progressive) ICX285 (B/W & C, 2/3, 1360x1024 pixel, 6.45 um sq., progressive)
19 UAI CCD - Technical Choices Microchip PIC 16F877A Microcontroller running at 20Mhz Texas Instruments ADS8505 A/D converter : 16 bits, 250Ksps FTDI FT245B USB 1.1 port in a DIP module Peltier Cooler 1 stage -25 C below ambient Temp
20 UAI CCD - Hardware Architecture H&V Drivers CCD Video Amp. A/D Converter Micro Controller I/O Port (Rs232) Power Supply USB 1.1
21 UAI CCD - Hardware is just part of the Project Software Runs on PC User Interface Controls Image Acquisition Saves images as Files (.fit) Firmware Runs on microcontroller Controls Low Level Camera Functionalities Can be upgraded for additional capabilities or for bug fixing Hardware
22 UAI CCD PC Software : Plug-In Strategy Instead of developing new software from scratch we prefer to write Plug-Ins for existing programs. A Plug-In is a software connector that lets existing programs take complete control of the camera and use it directly. We plan support for freeware and commercial programs. Planned Plug-Ins : Audela Freeware Astroart Commercial Maxim Commercial Details on camera protocols will be available to anyone willing to develop a plug-in for additional programs
23 The UAI CCD Project would be marginally useful to the astro community if it were just schematics and software. There are additional tools that will make the adventure of building a CCD camera an easy, straight and enjoyable experience! UAI CCD Web Portal An on-line step-by-step guide A newsgroup to share tips and tricks and to look for support
24 UAI CCD Project Web Portal :
25 UAI CCD Project : A Do-It-Yourself On Line Guide A step by step manual on how to: Make camera PCBs Solder and wire components Assemble mechanical parts Load firmware and software Test, Debug and get First Light We tried to explain each step as much as possible, with text and pictures
26 UAI CCD Project : Looking for help or support? A newsgroup to reach other people and the UAI CCD Dev. Team
27 The UAI CCD Project started about 2 years ago What have we done? Hardware development is complete Two working prototypes got First Light on astro targets Camera final version is almost complete Writing the on-line guide (80% done) Working on a plug-in for Audela Working with MSB-Software on a plug-in for Astroart 8 Beta Testers are building their own camera (Oct.06) Many Thanks to : Alberto, Andrea, Antonino, Emanuele, Jason, Giorgio, Paolo, Tiziano

31 The UAI CCD Project started about 2 years ago What we still need to do? ENGLISH TRANSLATION!!!! Firmware Fine Tuning Complete Plug-In Development Complete the On-line Manual... and to spread the Word!
32 UAI CCD Project : Future directions? Technical Support for a wider choice of progressive B/W & Color CCD to lower Entry Point Costs and to Enhance Performances Internal Filter Wheel ( 31.8 mm 5 slots ) Additional functionalities trough the serial port (today used for firmware updates only) Others Component Kits to simplify parts procurement
33 UAI CCD Camera : How does it look like? Microcontroller USB RS232 Swappable CCD Specific Board Camera Case Standard Aluminum Box Power Supply CCD Sensor Sealed Cold Chamber Standard Plastic Box
