ULTRACAM is a digital camera capable of taking (and storing) up to 500 red, green and blue images per second. The instrument was built in just under 3 years by a consortium from the Universities of Sheffield, Warwick and the UK Astronomy Technology Centre in Edinburgh, using a £300,000 grant awarded by PPARC. ULTRACAM saw 'first light' on 16 May 2002 on the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) on La Palma, and first light on the 8.2-m Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile on 4 May 2005. To date, ULTRACAM has been awarded a total of 92 nights of time on these telescopes for projects as varied as white dwarfs, brown dwarfs, asteroseismology, pulsars, black-hole/neutron-star X-ray binaries, eclipsing binary stars, gamma-ray bursts, cataclysmic variables, extrasolar planets, active galactic nuclei, Kuiper Belt objects and Saturn's moon Titan. This grant proposal requests funding for the proper maintenance and operation of ULTRACAM, as well as a modest programme of minor upgrades, thereby ensuring that ULTRACAM maintains its position as the world's premier instrument for high-speed optical astrophysics. As well as maximising the return on PPARC's original investment, this money will also allow us to continue to offer ULTRACAM to others in the UK and astronomical community who wish to use it.

Ultracam是一款数码相机，每秒可采用（并存储）500个红色，绿色和蓝色图像。该乐器是由Sheffield大学，沃里克大学和爱丁堡英国天文技术中心的一家财团在不到3年的不到3年中建造的，使用了PPARC授予的300,000英镑赠款。 Ultracam于2002年5月16日在La Palma上的4.2-M William Herschel望远镜（WHT）上看到了“第一灯”，并于2005年5月4日在智利的8.2-m上亮起了非常大的望远镜（VLT）。到目前为止，Ultracam授予了Ultracam在这些项目上的92夜，因为这些望远镜的时间是弗朗的，因为这些望远镜是White Brown as varrfs and Brown verfors verfors for white white derfors for for white d.broft verfors for white devielfs verfors verfors verfors for white d。脉冲星，黑洞/中子星X射线二进制二进制，黯然失色的二进制恒星，伽马射线爆发，灾难性变量，极性行星，活跃的银河系核，kuiper带对象和土星的月球泰坦。该赠款提案要求为UltraCAM的适当维护和运行以及次要升级计划提供资金，从而确保UltraCam保持其作为世界上高速光学天体物理学的首要工具的地位。除了最大限度地提高PPARC的原始投资回报外，这笔钱还将使我们能够继续向英国其他人以及希望使用它的天文学界提供Ultracam。
