Current Instrument Configuration
If you came here to get the what instruments are currently on each telescope or the current configuration of each GMOS, check the Current Instrument Configuration.
This page shows Gemini's current facility and visiting instruments. The expected instrument availability for the coming semester is given in the current Call for Proposals; information for the current and previous semesters (and the next semester when finalized) can be found in the schedules section. Check recent science highlights from Gemini's instrumentation suite. The instrument capabilities are summarised in the Gemini Capabilities Brochure.
