Time-resolved photometry using a CCD

Abstract

We present results from a technique to obtain time-resolved photometry using a CCD as a detector. Two methods are described: one is best for brighter objects (V<12) when good time resolution is needed, the other for fainter sources (V>15) with moderate time resolution. The findings presented show that within the regimes discussed, a CCD can do as well as or better than a conventional photometer.
