I have a small question. I know that exposing a CCD directly to the sun can damage the pixels. What I want to know is, how long does it have to be exposed to damage the CCD permanently? As a yardstick, how much damage would be done by, say,exposing theCCDfor 1 secondto a 6-o'clock sun? Thanks.

Hello there;
"I don't have an answer, but am interested in this topic as well. I have taken numerous sunset shots, many of which were taken with the sun zoomed very large in the image. So far I have noted no change in my camera's performance, but I have wondered if there was a guideline in regards to this practice. Tom, on Point Pelee, Canada |

Thanks for the page, red. I'll give just a little clarification, since maybe 6:00 sun is a bit general. Where I am, at 6:00 the sun is about halway between the horizon and straight above. Like, say, 135 degrees. The sun would be too bright to look at for more than say 3/10 second without hurting your eyes. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated
