Scientific paper

S-Cam is a cryogenic camera for ground-based astronomy using superconducting tunnel junctions. The authors provide an overview of the cryogenic detector performance, a description of the S-Cam system, and a summary of the results obtained both during testing at ESTEC and during actual observations at the William Herschel Telescope (WHT) in La Palma, Spain. Initial astronomical observations were performed on the Crab pulsar, a neutron star spinning with a period of 33 msec at about 6000 light years from Earth.
