Scientific paper

Results of the first observing trials with a new, microchannel plate intensified, photon counting detector are presented here. These results show that this system has several significant advantages over the detectors currently in use at the Anglo-Australian Telescope and on La Palma and its large format is a uniquely powerful feature for the next generation of large telescopes. The main advantage are in higher dynamic range, lower dark count and compactness. Further developments of the intensifier are planned so that improvements may be made in counting efficiency and halation thereby enabling the detectors full potential to be realized.
