CCD size governs the field of view in Solar-Y. The CCD is 1024 pixels high, and one pixel corresponds to 1 arcsec. However, only the central 512 pixel band of the CCD is used for science observations and thus the field of view in Solar-Y is 512 arcsec. An upcoming software update will however enable the full 1024 pixel height of the CCD to be used for science observations, with the restriction that no more than a 512 pixel region can be observed in a single exposure. E.g., the EIS Chief Observer can choose to observe a 512 pixel region at the bottom of the CCD, and then adjust the pointing to observe a 512 pixel region at the top of the CCD.
CCD size governs the field of view in Solar-Y. The CCD is 1024 pixels high, and one pixel corresponds to 1 arcsec. Up until April 2008 only the central 512 pixel band of the CCD was used for science observations and thus the field of view in Solar-Y was 512 arcsec. Towards the end of April 2008, a software update was performed which enables the full 1024 pixel height of the CCD to be used for science observations with the restriction that no more than a 512 pixel region can be observed in a single exposure. E.g., the EIS Chief Observer can choose to observe a 512 pixel region at the bottom of the CCD and then adjust the pointing to observe a 512 pixel region at the top of the CCD, but the complete 1024 pixels can not be observed in a single exposure.
