Welcome to the CTIO IRS web pages. You can obtain a PostScript
version of this manual as well. You really should save bandwidth and time
by downloading the gzip'd
version instead (don't forget to "shift click"). Even Nick Suntzeff
can gunzip. This is a major revision to the IRS manual reflecting the use
of the instrument with the new 4m
f/14 tip-tilt secondary. Sections regarding the tip-tilt system will
likely undergo periodic revision as we use the system more, so watch this
space. We have also be working on updating our sensitivity
data. You should use this new information to calculate signal-to-noise
estimates for observing proposals. If you have questions regarding the
IRS you can contact Bob Blum
or Brooke Gregory at CTIO
(Richard has moved to Florida to take up alligator wrestling).
