Abstract
The parameters of TV guide cameras of the BTA and Zeiss-1000 telescopes are analyzed. The formation of optical images by the “atmosphere + telescope” system is analyzed with allowance for the laws of photoelectron statistics in order to justify the applicability of commercial CCD cameras in the guiding systems of large optical telescopes. The analysis focuses on the estimates of fundamental constraints imposed on the method of TV observations of the sky through a turbulent atmosphere. The possible ways of reducing the main constraining factors in the case of the use of highly sensitive commercially produced CCDs in TV guide cameras are outlined.
