CookBook CCD Camera
About 10 months ago I started building the Cookbook 245 CCD camera. I recently did the first light tests after having the project languish for several months. Here's a few pictures of the project.

The power supply.
My rendition of the power supply includes a forced air cooling and 12V / 110v operation. |

head. I used disconnects on the cooling lines.
My coolant tank is a 7 gallon water jug with a constant duty marine bilge pump. |

The interface module is built in a die cast magnesium housing that velcros to the tripod or wedge. | |

The moment of truth!!
The dollar note was taped to the wall on the other side of the house. I shot at prime focus at f / 10 about 30 feet away. |
