Latest Generation CMOS Hybrid Focal Planes: First Astrometric Results

Abstract

We present the first ground-based astrometric testing results conducted using the second-generation H4RG10 A2 CMOS hybrid detectors. USNO is currently developing very large format CMOS hybrid focal plane technologies for use in astrometry and photometry. The results presented here are the latest in a series of calibration and astronomical tests that have been conducted for this purpose. Specifically we present the preliminary results of our astrometric analysis.
