sorry for this of topic but maybe some is interested...
I have a highly sensitive circuit board CCTV camera with a SONY
EXview HAD CCD, its not so easy to find long delevery time.
I had professional help to doing the modify of the camera board and
solder of needed cables, they have also done a extra circuit board
for the relays and connection to parallel port and camera board, the
connection it self is not done.
The camera is very sensitive 0.003 lux and the ccd-chip is 1/3".
At my link :

You can see what is done to the camera and also the extra circuit
board, you also have links to sites how describe the modify.
At this link you can see some images taken with a camera like this,
the same modify,:

What you have to do is ,connect the camera circuit board with the
extra circuit and a parallel port connection, build it in to a box,
attach some cooling ,air cooling with a cpu-fan or peltier cooler,
and you have a extreme b/w camera.
Now, my electronic skill is down at ZERO, and I understand that I
never gone be able to finish the modify of this camera
so I will
changes it against any other astronomical stuff.

I think you can also find this CCD-chip in the SAC-8 camera.
