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/INGRID and OSCA
Prospective NAOMI/INGRID applicants should
read the most recent
performance summary. Use of the INT and JKT Due to the impact of cost savings at ING, Semester 2003A is the last semester for which IDS will be offered as a common-user instrument. The WFC will continue to be offered as a common-user instrument. The INT service programme, in which service observations are carried out on the WFC and IDS by observatory personnel, will be discontinued from the end of Semester 2003A. Also for reasons of cost savings, the JKT will be withdrawn from normal service at the end of Semester 2003A, but may continue beyond 2003A as a special-purpose telescope with external funding. TNG Timeshare As part of a continuing collaboration between ING and TNG, NL and UK observers may apply to use three TNG instruments. These are: A minimum of five nights are available, and NL and UK applicants should submit proposals on their standard application forms to the NFRA PC and UK PATT respectively. |
