= Welcome to APO Users wiki = This is a test site to allow APO users to share information about using APO facilities, in particular, the ARC 3.5m telescope and its instruments. Users are encouraged to share information about instrument/telescope performance, data reduction, etc. through this wiki. The official site web pages and manuals can be found at http://www.apo.nmsu.edu/arc35m. On this wiki we attempt to collect supplemental information and experience from users; it also provides a place for users to leave information that may be of use to others (and to themselves at some later time!). As such, however, anything posted here is not validated/guaranteed by site personnel, and users should be aware of the possibility that not everything here may be perfectly true! It is meant to be a clearing house for what people are learning. Note that the current wiki setup allows anonymous visitors to view pages. To edit/create pages, you need to register (helpful so others can see who posted), but anyone can register, and no approval is required; to register, simply click the Register link at the upper right. After registering, please edit responsibly; organization on a site like this can significantly affect its usability. Also note that at this point, this is just a wiki. There is the possibility of interfacing it with a code repository, another feature that might be implemented in the future (more likely if requested!), and perhaps mailing lists. == [wiki:newusers New User notes and useful information] == == [wiki:userscommittee Users' Committee Information and Meeting Minutes] == == [wiki:tdawg Time Domain Astronomy Working Group] == == [wiki:tewg Training and Education Working Group] == == ARC 3.5m Telescope == [http://www.apo.nmsu.edu/arc35m APO site telescope/information page with users manuals] ==== [wiki:3.5m Telescope, observing, etc. information] ==== - [wiki:3.5m#moving Tracking Solar System or other moving objects] - [wiki:3.5m#catalogs Some useful observing object catalogs] - [wiki:3.5m#exptimes Exposure time calculators] ==== TUI information ==== - [wiki:TUI#linux Python dependencies for linux users] ==== [wiki:data General data/reduction issues] ==== - [wiki:data#headers Using APO FITS header time cards in reduction] ==== ARC 3.5-m Instrument News Page ==== [http://www.apo.nmsu.edu/arc35m/Engineering/index.html Current issues and changes to the 3.5-m instrumentation.
