GCALflat configurations for B600 Grating (Longslit or MOS)
Slit Width (arcsec): 0.25 0.50 0.75 1.00 1.50 2.00 5.00
Example GMOS-N spectra from the old B600 grating, actual values delivered by the new B600 grating are 20-30% higher
GCALflat spectrum dominated by scattered light blueward of 400nm (shown in red)
GCAL ND filters give more scattered light than GMOS balance filter
