* 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 3K and Loral 1200 X 800 both expected for 1995. See this issue [39]
for details
b Tek CCDs available first semester 1995 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 Limited availability of specified plate types; user must supply non-
standard types or large quantities [38].
d 2-D Frutti limited to continuing long-term programs. Not available after
1995.
e STIS 2048 X 2048 should be available on Schmidt early in semester. QE
similar to Thomson, but FOV of 68' (2.0 arcsec pixels).
