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.
