2.6 Message Window 2.7 Telescope Focus 2.8 Mounting Plate Ring Angle 3. This manual describes how to obtain data with the infrared camera on the Las Campanas Swope 40-inch telescope. Tables 1 and 2 give several performance characteristics of the camera.
North is up, East is to the left.
We have seen that at Kshort the background will drop by about 0.05 mag per degree C decrease in temperature. Includes tranmission losses of the atmosphere, telescope, camera optics, filters, and detector quantum efficiency. In practice these values will be about 0.2 mag brighter because of imperfect sky subtraction and flattening. The day crew will have set up the camera and its two computers. The camera is operated from a SUN Sparcstation 2 workstation, whose name is 'norma'.
