Abstract
Results of tests to demonstrate the very high differential-photometric
stability of CCD light sensors are presented The measurements reporte
d here demonstrate that in a controlled laboratory environment, a fron
t-illuminated CCD can provide differential-photometric measurements wi
th reproducible precision approaching one part in 10(5). Practical lim
itations to the precision of differential-photometric measurements wit
h CCDs and implications for spaceborne applications are discussed.
