* Numbers in boldface following an instrument indicate the most recent
Newsletters 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 33; see also 26
and 28.  Information on telescope control guiders is in 21, 22, 24,
32.
