B) The two stars will look like a single point of light.
C) The two stars will appear to be touching, looking rather like a small dumbbell.

Which of the following is a principal advantage of CCDs over photographic film?

A) CCDs allow long exposures (e.g., minutes or hours), and film does not.
B) CCDs can record the colors of astronomical objects accurately, while film cannot.
C) CCDs capture a much higher percentage of the incoming photons than does film.
D) Images recorded with CCDs never require any image processing, while images
recorded by film often do.
E) CCDs can be attached to modern telescopes more easily than cameras. - Answer -
C) CCDs capture a much higher percentage of the incoming photons than does film.
