PizzaPuzzle, I am a little puzzled by the statement "CCDs commonly respond to 70% of the light to which they are exposed", because I'm not sure what the 70% is a measurement of. Is it the percentage of the CCD surface that is covered by sensing material, as opposed to inert structures such as metal conductors? Or is it the percentage of the incident energy in the visible spectrum that falls on the sensors that is converted to electric charge, instead of being reflected or absorbed as heat? Or is it the product of both of these? I would be grateful for clarification. -- Heron
