The main reason why an electronic CCD camera is more capable than the human eye at detecting fainter objects through telescopes is that

(a)   the CCD is able to store and integrate light for a long period whereas the eye clears the images several times a second.
(b)   the CCD is sensitive to a wider range of colors than is the eye.
(c)   the CCD is capable of much higher resolution than is the eye, by concentrating light into smaller images.
