Abstract

We present our new astronomical wide field imager, which consists of two 4k x 8k CCD mosaic cameras allowing simultaneous imaging in two focal planes with different color passbands. Each mosaic is maintained at 180K by using a fully automated original cryogenic system without LN2. A modular electronic system permits an individual computer controlled setting and a parallel readout of the CCDs. An acquisition system has been developed in order to process the data rate of 10–15 Gbyte per night. The described instrumentation will be used in a sky-survey and sky-patrol to search for gravitational microlenses, supernovae and red dwarfs
