Avoid field edge. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %page %left,size 4.0 User Interface %size 5.0 The user interface has been simplified, but is essentially unchanged. %pause By not using the WTTM focus sensor, the user interface is much simpler to navigate and use. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %page %left,size 4.0 Photometery Demonstration %pause, fore "red" Saha and Claver have successfully reduce photometric standard data, no unusual issues %pause, fore "red" A report of Saha's photometry is included in the user's manual %center, image "CMD.jpg" WTTM Photometry: Claver 12/03 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %page %left,size 4.0 WTTM Instrument Throughput %pause, fore "red" WTTM is roughly a 30-35% throughput loss (V-band) %pause, fore "red" See Saha's photometry report for band pass specifics
