Photometric Calibration Program (1Mar96)
(from KPNO, NOAO Newsletter No. 45, March 1996)

Have you recently used one of our telescopes to collect data that was
compromised by non-photometric conditions? If so, there is an
experimental program to have those fields calibrated for you.

Ralph Shuping (University of Colorado, Boulder student) will be
observing for one week (1-7 April) at the KPNO 0.9-m telescope to
provide service observing strictly for the purpose of post-calibrating
KPNO data. We see this as an effective use of a small telescope whereby
the value of large (or small) telescope data becomes greatly enhanced
when photometrically calibrated. We also will consider post-calibrating
non-NOAO data as well, but at a lower priority.

If you wish to take advantage of this program, please send a letter or
e-mail message to Sidney Wolff swolff@noao.edu briefly describing your
original program and your photometric requirements. Ralph will contact
you later to obtain details of the project.
