This appendix summarises the filters available for use with the ING telescopes.
Tables and
list the filters available for CCD imaging.
All of these are 50 mm square, except where otherwise noted, and can be
used at all the imaging instruments: JKT Cass, INT Prime, WHT Prime and
WHT AUX port. Apart from the filter characteristics we also give some
telescope specific information.
At the end of this appendix we list in Tables
and
the larger,
circular, filters available for imaging and for Fabry-Perot spectroscopy with
TAURUS-2 on the WHT, and in Table
the filters available for
CCD imaging at WHT prime focus, which are 125mm in diameter.
The information in this document comes from various sources:
the La Palma Technical Notes 45, 73, 75 and 90, the INT Prime Focus manual,
and a List of Optical Components compiled by Chris Benn.
Filter transmission curves can be found in graphical and tabular form on the ING Information pages of the Cambridge World-Wide Web server, and on the La Palma World-Wide Web server.
