New CCDs

Two CCD231-42 detectors with Deep-Depletion silicon and a broad-band Multi-2 AR coating and with the added E2V fringe suppression process were ordered for use with ALFOSC and FIES and are due to be delivered at the end of March 2013. The planning of the development of the controller for FIES will be coordinated in a way that it can be delivered with the new high-speed fiber transfer PCI express card in the controller.
