This may be effective if you are not using the CCD at full speed (i.e.
integration time equal to only the time to shift out data).  If you are,
changing any of the clocking times will effect integration time, and
therefore, image intensity.  I once used a CCD where I clocked data out at
rated speed (12MHz, I think) but let the CCD integrate for an adjustable time
period after the data was finished clocking out.  This worked quite well to
improve the range of image intensities we were able to view.
