| ULTRACAM is a PPARC-funded (£300k) ultra-fast, triple-beam CCD camera, designed to study one of the few remaining unexplored regions of observational parameter space - high temporal resolution. The instrument saw first light in May 2002 on the WHT, over 3 months ahead of schedule and within budget, and will be used on 2-m, 4-m and 8-m class telescopes around the world to study astrophysics on the fastest timescales. |
