  • Filters:
    • J-low, J, H, K-short broad-band filter set permanently installed
    • We expect to have two narrow-band filters (wavelengths to be determined) also installed at any given time.
    • There is an upgrade path being investigated for the construction and installation of a dual-etalon tunable narrow-band filter to be used with the f/32 MCAO system.
  • Science detector: Rockwell 2048 x 2048 HgCdTe HAWAII-2 (18 micron pixels)
  • Pixel scale: 0.18 arcsec/pix at f/16; 0.09 arcsec/pix at f/32 with MCAO.
  • Imaging Field of View: 6.'1 diameter circle at f/16; 120" diameter corrected FOV at f/32 with MCAO.
