New Manual For 0.9-m Telescope Operation (1Jun94)
(from KPNO, NOAO Newsletter No. 38, 1 June 1994)

As noted in the March 1994 NOAO Newsletter (see "Direct Imaging
Improvements," p.40), we have been revising our direct imaging manuals
and separating out the telescope operations guides.  The manual for the
0.9-m telescope is now available as a hypertext Mosaic document through
the NOAO home page (URL = http://www.tuc.noao.edu/noao.html) or
directly through URL = http://www.tuc.noao.edu/0.9m/manual.html

The hypertext format offers a rapid way to find the information you
need at the telescope.  The hypertext philosophy, however, is somewhat
inconsistent with a classic, linear, paper manual.  Therefore, for
those who prefer paper over bits (e.g., convenient airplane reading
material), a compressed version of the 38-page manual is available as
0.9manual.ps.Z via anonymous ftp to ftp.noao.edu in the subdirectory
kpno/manuals (see following article).

Wider use of Mosaic for telescope and instrument manuals will be
considered if the 0.9-m experiment is well received.  I welcome your
comments, criticisms, and suggestions for improvement of this draft
manual.
