(Bill Ketzeback / bketzeback at apo.nmsu.edu) Here is a link to some (from 2006) tests that show line position varies with rotator angle. http://users.apo.nmsu.edu/~bketzeba/ENG/wavelengthshift.html Here the high resolution gratings refers to the B1200/R1200 pair but the low/med naming convention was likely referring to the older B300/R300 pair not the current B400/R300 set.

(Karen Kinemuchi / kinemuchi at apo.nmsu.edu) This attachment is a basic data reduction cookbook and can be used as a guide to obtain 1-d extracted and wavelength calibrated DIS spectra. The main reduction tool is IRAF, and it is assumed the user has some knowledge of the IRAF environment. The user is encouraged to experiment with the parameters in each IRAF task, depending on the user's science goals or specific results from the spectra itself.

(Bill Ketzeback / bketzeback at api.nmsu.edu) This plot shows extinction as wavelength verses magnitude/airmass over the range of DIS wavelengths. It is derived from SDSS extinction data. It also shows how the local site compares to KPNO and CTIO. The noisy red end from atmospheric effects has been smoothed and clipped. This [attachment:apoextinction.png.zip plot] and its data [attachment:apoextinct.dat.zip file] was compiled by Jim Davenport at U Washington.
