CCD ASTROMED
From 11/1994 to 7/2001 the main imaging device for the OTAP was a EEV CCD05-30 provided by the Astromed company of Cambridge . During this period over 20000 scientific images were taken during approximaty 40% of the nights. The weather in Torino will premit partical observations during approximatly 50% of the nights but downtime due to technical problems and observer availability limited the number to 40%. Here are the climatic conditions for the parallax program with the Astromed CCD.

Here we show a typical parallactic movement over five years of the nearby White Dwarf N1-441
observed with the Astromed CCD.
