Observer Needs or Comments

Brian Keeney My apologies on the phantom second instrument request. I was getting
a cryptic error and thought it didn't like the 2nd instrument being
left at its default value. Now I can't figure out how to clear it.

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 We request a central wavelength of ~5300 A, but most critical is that the blue
end of the wavelength range extends to 3900 A so we are sensitive to CaII H&K
absorption at z~0. We also request that the BG-39 filter be placed in front of
the FOPS so that we are guiding at the same wavelengths that we're observing.
Wavelength Order for (WIYN Bench Spectrograph Grating List) 1
Choice/s for: (WIYN Bench Spectrograph Grating List) 600@10.1
