WhiteCam on Sabbatical (1Mar93)
(from KPNO, NOAO Newsletter No. 33, 1 March 1993)

Because of the cosmetic quality of the CCD detector used in the White
Spectrograph on the 0.9-m telescope, we have decided to temporarily
remove that instrument from active duty. The combination of a large
number of low light level traps, bad fringing in the red, and the small
aperture of the telescope severely limits the scientific capabilities
of the instrument. We hope to replace the CCD with a better quality
Ford 3K in the near future. Watch the Newsletter for an announcement of
its return.

Todd Boroson, David De Young
