CCDs: pixel scale and field of view Example: CCD pixel scale –take a plate scale of 50 arcsec per mm –CCD pixels are about 25 microns –=> pixel scale would be 1.25 arcsec per pixel Example: CCD field of view –For a 1000x1000 CCD with 1.25 arcsec pixels, field of view is 1250 or about 21 arcmin (could image most of Moon's surface)
