Revised Instrument Manuals Available (1Dec92)
(from KPNO, NOAO Newsletter No. 32, 1 December 1992)

We have revised four of our instrument manuals to reflect recent
changes in the hardware and software. These are all available in the
usual way from the Observing Support Office in Tucson (attention: Judy
Schneider or Marlene Saltzman).

The revised manuals are:

The CCD Direct-Imaging Camera - 4-m Telescope
The CCD Direct-Imaging Camera - 2.1-m Telescope
Burrell Schmidt Direct CCD Imaging Manual
The R-C Spectrograph for the Mayall 4-m Telescope

In addition, the first three of these manuals are also available
electronically "over the net." This makes it easy for us to make
revisions, and it makes it easy for you to obtain these manuals.

To obtain one of the direct-imaging manuals via "anonymous ftp," type
the following:

ftp orion.tuc.noao.edu or ftp 140.252.1.22
login as: anonymous
password>  your lastname@machine
ftp>  cd kpno/manuals
ftp>  ls -l [list available manuals and their dates]
ftp>  binary
ftp>  get (manual name)
after transfer is complete
ftp>  bye

In addition, note that other manuals are available electronically in
this subdirectory, including the Hydra manual and the ICE CCD software
manual. These manuals are all "encapsulated PostScript" files, with
figures and tables embedded.

Once you have obtained these compressed files, you can reconstitute and
print them using the following commands:

   uncompress manualname.ps.Z
   lpr -s -PlwN manualname.ps
