Observer Needs or Comments

Brian Keeney None
Audra Hernandez None

Instrument Needs - Hydra Bench spectrograph (HYDRB, HYDRR)

Multiple Configurations Requested No
Detector Choice STA1
Mode Select Blue Cable
Camera Select Bench Spectrograph Camera
Configuration Needs I will be using a central wavelength of ~5200 A, but I want to be able to
observe very low redshift Ca II H & K absorption, so the exact central
wavelength value is less important than the blue end of my wavelength coverage
reaching down to 3900 A. I would also like to use the blue filter (BG-39?) for
the FOPS TV.
Wavelength Order for (WIYN Bench Spectrograph Grating List) 1
Choice/s for: (WIYN Bench Spectrograph Grating List) 600@10.1

Other Support Requirements

Requesting an Instrument Assistant No
Will be Submitting a Coordinate Cache No
