This page gives an overview of the instrumentation
available on the WHT,
INT and JKT.
It is revised bi-annually to reflect the options offered in each semester.
Full information on all the listed instruments is indexed in the Manuals Home Page, and information on older instruments can be found on-line in the Obsolete Instruments section of the Manuals Home Page. NAOMI applicants are encouraged to check the NICMOS data archive before submitting applications. Email links to the instrument specialists are given; please contact them directly if you require further information about any instrument. SIGNAL can be used to calculate exposure times for any telescope/instrument/detector combination.
As part of a collaboration between ING and TNG, NL and UK observers may apply to use the TNG high resolution spectrograph, SARG. Up to seven nights are available, and NL and UK applicants should submit proposals on their standard application forms to the NFRA PC and UK PATT respectively. |
