Instruments Available on Kitt Peak Telescopes...(1Sep94)
Spring 1995 (from KPNO, NOAO Newsletter No. 39, 1 September 1994)

The instruments listed below will be available for visitor use on KPNO
telescopes during the February - July 1995 observing season. Proposals for
this period are due 30 September 1994. Instruments which are noted as
"reduced availability" are scheduled only in instances of high scientific
merit (i.e., in the top third of those awarded time). Visitor instrumentation
is welcome at KPNO and can be scheduled if the instrument: a) is unique; b)
is required for a project of very high scientific merit; c) conforms to block
scheduling; and d) has small impact on KPNO operational and engineering
resources.

4-m Telescope:
     R-C Spectrograph + CCD (T2KB)
     Echelle + UVFast, Red Long, or Blue Long Camera + CCD (T2KB)
     PF Camera + direct CCD (T2KB)
     IR Cryogenic Spectrometer (CRSP)
     Cryogenic Optical Bench (COB)
     IR Imager (IRIM)
     Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS)  [Note 2]
     PF Camera + Photographic Plates  [Notes 1,3,4]
     CryoCam (with 800 X 1200 Loral chip)  [Note 1]

WIYN Telescope:
     Hydra + Bench Spectrograph (T2KC)  [Note 5]
     CCD Imager (TBD)  [Note 5]

2.1-m Telescope:
     GoldCam CCD Spectrometer (F3KA)
     CCD Direct Camera (T1KA)
     Cryogenic Optical Bench (COB)
     IR Cryogenic Spectrometer (CRSP)
     IR Imager (IRIM)  [Note 1]

Notes:    1)  Reduced Availability
          2)  Service observing only
          3)  Visitors must provide their own photographic plates
          4)  Limited to programs in progress
          5)  Shared-risk operation
          6)  No long-term programs
