Scientific paper

We have constructed a new instrument for use on the 74-, 40-, and 30-inch telescopes at the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) site in Sutherland. The Sutherland High-speed Optical Cameras (SHOC) were designed to provide, subsecond (or longer), accurately-timed, high-quality, visible-wavelength imaging. The instrument has the capability to run in conventional frame transfer mode or to increase signal via an electron-multiplying amplifier. We anticipate the application of SHOC for research projects ranging from stellar occultation observations to extrasolar planet transits to a variety of stellar phenomena.
