ULTRACAM is an ultra-fast, triple-beam CCD camera,
designed to study one of the few remaining unexplored regions of
observational parameter space - high
temporal resolution. Recently
funded in full (£292 k) by PPARC, it will see first light in 2001
and will be used on 2-m, 4-m and 8-m class telescopes in Australia,
the Canary Islands and
South Africa to study astrophysics on the fastest timescales.
