*   Numbers in boldface following an instrument indicate the most recent
    Newsletters containing relevant articles. If there is no number, the 1990
    edition of the Facilities Manual is fully up to date. The most recent
    general summary of CCD characteristics is in 33; see also issues 26 and 28.
    Information on telescope control and guiders is in 21, 22, 24, 32.
