将建造一个电荷耦合器件（CCD）镶嵌图， 在新的WIYN望远镜上 此阵列四个自定义2048 x2048 像素CCD将是WIYN的主要成像探测器 天文台 检测器/控制器/软件的结构 该系统将在国家光学天文学之间共享 天文台（NOAO）和印第安纳州大学。 马赛克将覆盖 一个只有2.8弧秒的区域，在一侧有9.6弧分 将四个CCD分开。 一种多功能滤光片/快门组件， 可构造成配备有三个可互换的滤光轮。 控制器将具有广泛的操作模式， 再加上广泛的过滤补充，将容纳大量的 各种科学计划。 特殊的硬件和软件将 用于增强系统的时间分辨能力 恒星测光

A charge-coupled-device (CCD) mosaic will be constructed for use on the new WIYN telescope. This array of four custom 2048x2048 pixel CCDs will be the primary imaging detector for the WIYN Observatory. The construction of the detector/controller/software system will be shared between the National Optical Astronomy Observatories (NOAO) and Indiana University. The mosaic will cover an area 9.6 arc minutes on a side with only 2.8 arc seconds separating the four CCDs. A versatile filter/shutter assembly will be constructed equipped with three interchangeable filter wheels. The controller will have a wide range of operating modes which, coupled with a broad filter complement, will accommodate a large variety of scientific programs. Special hardware and software will be used to enhance the capabilities of the system for time-resolved stellar photometry.
