Abstract
The U.S.Naval Observatory has commissioned the fabrication of an array of six charge-coupled devices (CCDs) bonded to a single silicon substrate for precision astrometry of sources spanning a large range in apparent brightness. The array includes one CCD with rapid readout capability for imaging bright stars. We present the design parameters and the anticipated performance characteristics of this sensor.
