The Ford Aerospace 2048 × 2048 CCD with UV coating is used at the BAO 60/90 cm f/3 Schmidt telescope focal plane, giving a field-of-view of about one square degree and spatial resolution of 1.67 arcsecond per pixel. The paper reviews the following topics:

  1. 1) basic performance of the system;

  2. 2) anti-blooming technique for a large field CCD;

  3. 3) flat fielding for a large field CCD;

  4. 4) photometric properties of compressed images.
