Scientific paper

The use of intensified television-camera systems for field acquisition and telescope guiding has greatly improved the performance of many ground-based telescopes. The availability of intensifiers with microchannel plates, and Vidicon tubes with greater sensitivity, has made compact, high-gain viewers possible. The advent of high-speed logic and memory components has made it possible to produce simple and inexpensive video processors to greatly improve the resultant images. This paper describes the design of such a system in routine use since 1984 on the 1.83-m telescope at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory (DAO).
