The astronomers at the University of New Mexico are applying the finishing touches to their CCD project. We addressed many issues during the course of this project, such as whether to build or buy the CCD camera system, what upgrades our telescope and observatory were in need of, and what kind of image processing capability the instrument demanded. Our decisions and solutions are presented as a guide to other institutions which may be considering CCD instrumentation for their small telescopes, especially since most face the same constraints that we do: limited money and manpower.

The 61-cm telescope at the Capilla Peak Observatory of the University of New Mexico was used extensively from 1979 to 1982 for UBVR observations of selected RS CVn stars. (See Elston and Zeilik, 1982, for details of the system.) Complete coverage was obtained from most of the short-period systems (Hall, 1976)-RT and CG Cyg, XY Uma (the most active of these systems), UV Psc and ER Vul-with a precision of 0.01 mag or better for each datum. Our early experiences showed that these stars had rapid intrinsic variations (within a month).
