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

a Loral 1200 X 800 expected for first semester 1995.  See issue [41] for
details.  GEC available until then.

b Tek CCDs available on 4-m and 1.5-m telescopes: Arcon-run only:  Tek
1K#2, 24 um pixels, Tek 2K#4, 24 um pixels. [33,34,39].

c User must supply plates.  See [41].

d STIS 20482 should be available on Schmidt in early 1995.  QE similar to
Thomson, but FOV of 68' (2.0" pixels).

e Reticon CCD will be used in Blue Air Schmidt until Loral 3K is installed
and works satisfactorily.
