Photoelectric Photometry Consolidated to the 1.3-m...(1Dec92)
Telescope
(from KPNO, NOAO Newsletter No. 32, 1 December 1992)

As mentioned in NOAO Newsletter No. 28 (December 1991, p. 21),
photoelectric photometry will be restricted to the 1.3-m telescope
beginning with the August 1993 scheduling period. The reasons for this
decision are the fewer numbers of proposals we receive for this type of
work and the aging state of the equipment. Restricting this equipment
to one site will ease the support requirements and provide increased
numbers of spares. Many observers are changing their programs to the
CCDPHOT package that will be supported at the 0.9-m telescope. The
staff contacts for the CCDPHOT package are Caty Pilachowski and Tom
Kinman.
