| + | Someone asked how the DIS red channel was brought back to life given that the prognosis sounded pretty bad last month. Bill replied that finding the right order of restarting the software and hardware was the solution. The new 20" KOSMOS slits have been added to the suite of slits and returned to service. The 1.25" slits had some machining issues and are being shipped back to UW to be remade; we hope that they will be available soon. The 2.1" is still most popular width. | ||

One user said that the capability they really need is full spectral cover with a lower resolution prism. Another user said they needed higher resolution for planetary nebula projects. A third user said they could use both or either of those options, but they really emphasized the need for good sensitivity in the blue. |
