*   Numbers following an instrument indicate the most recent Newsletter(s)
    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 23; also see subsequent issues,
    especially 26 and 28. Information on telescope control and guiders is
    in 21, 22, 24.

(a) Tek CCDs available first semester 1993:
    -   VEB-run (1.5-m and 4-m only): 1 512 x 512, 27 um pixels; 1 1024 x
        1024, 24 um pixels, 0-1 2048 x 2048, 24 um pixels
    -   Arcon-run (0.9-m,1.5-m, 4-m) 1 1024 x 1024, 24 um pixels, 0-1 2048 x
	2048, 24 um pixels.
    (See 28, 29, 30 for details on Tek 2048 detectors and conversion to
    Arcon; there will always be at least 1 2048 x 2048 available with some
    controller.)

(b) Filar micrometer limited to long-term programs.

(c) CCD on Curtis Schmidt limited to 30 nights (approximately) observing
    during first semester 1993. See accompanying article.
