title = "Lucky imaging with the Leonardo SAPHIRA at Siding Spring Observatory",
abstract = "The Leonardo SAPHIRA is a HgCdTe linear avalanche photodiode array enabling high frame rate, high sensitivity, low noise, and low dark current imaging at near-infrared wavelengths. The ANU utilised the Leonardo SAPHIRA to develop a high cadence {"}Lucky Imager{"} which was successfully tested on sky at Siding Spring Observatory. The cryogenic electronics and cryostat were designed and built by the ANU. The cryostat was cooled with a compact Stirling cycle cryocooler with active vibration damping. Various detector control systems were tested, including an ESO 'NGC' system and also a 32 channel ARC SDSU Series III. Images were ultimately captured at a windowed frame rate of 2.2 kHz with the ESO NGC controller.",
