An astronomical camera is described which consists of a scanning Fabryndash;Peacute;rot Interferometric (FPI) system coupled to a charge coupled detector (CCD) imaging system. The Fabryndash;Peacute;rot etalon equipment consists of a commercially available Queensgate system. The CCD equipment is a commercially available Photometrics system employing one of the early developmental CCD chips of the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) project. The camera is controlled by a Digital Equipment Corporation Microvax II computer. Control of a filter wheel system and other housekeeping duties are done through a Kinetic Systems Camac controller commanded by the computer.
