First image taken with the LBNL prototype CCD. This almost-true color
image of NGC7662 was obtained at the Lick Observatory 1-m telescope on
1996 July 30 by Richard Stover, Mingzhi Wei, and Steve Holland. Since
there was no proper back window on this early CCD, it was front
illuminated. The entire 300 um substrate was depleted.

Region of the Orion Bar SW of theta Ori, imaged under wreched
conditions at the Lick Observatory 1-m telescope on 1996 Dec 4 by
Richard Stover, Mingzhi Wei, Steve Holland, and Don Groom with a
back-illuminated LBNL/Lick CCD. The image on the left was through a
Harris R filter (120 nm fwhm, 50 s exposure), and that on the right
through a filter centered at 1000 nm (88 nm fwhm, 100 s exposure).
Field of view is just under 1 arc min. To the best of our knowledge
this is the first high-QE (> 60 %) CCD image at 1000 nm.

This is a false-color superpostion of the above two images. The R image is
cyan, the 1000 nm image red. The "red" features are obscured in the R band.
