ABSTRACT This project will develop the readout electronics for a mosaic of 96 CCDs. The design for the mosaic and readout system will be based on a successful 16 CCD mosaic developed for the QUasar Equatorial Survey Team (QUEST). The larger camera, also to be used in the QUEST project, will improve on the prototype in a number of significant ways, including improved angular resolution, UV sensitivity, and the ability to extend the survey from +/- 6 degrees declination centered on the celestial equator to +/- 24 degrees.

该项目将开发用于96个ccd马赛克的读出电子设备。马赛克和读出系统的设计将基于为类星体赤道勘测队(QUEST)开发的成功的16 ccd马赛克。Quest项目中也将使用更大的相机，它将在许多重要方面对原型进行改进，包括提高角度分辨率、紫外线敏感度，以及将测量范围从以天赤道为中心的+/-6度扩展到+/-24度。
