DSSI successfully completed a trial run in July 2012 and is now offered to the Gemini community in 2013B. Depending on the outcome of the TAC meetings, the instrument will be offered for up to three weeks from late July to late August. Therefore, targets with RA between 15 and 3 hours (wrapped around 0h) may be proposed for, subject to actual scheduling and required total exposure time.

The standard Gemini conditions for visiting instruments will apply: the visiting instrument team will take all observations and will provide their standard pipeline-reduced products to PIs. There is no need to collaborate with the instrument PI for this level of service. If you need more than this, then the PI would appreciate an offer to collaborate. After the standard proprietary period, all reduced data will be made available via the GSA (in a reduced-effort mode).
