Detectors

New camera systems (please have a look and edit if needed!) --------- Together with the NBI, extensive documentation for the new camera systems was made. In October, contact was made with the NBI institute in order to speed up=

the delivery of the new camera systems for ALFOSC and FIES. We are currently waiting for more detailled information about the characterization of the last e2v CCDs, the finalization of the two systems and their delivery.

Meeting with Director of NBI...

We are still waiting for the new (e2v CCD231-42) detectors for FIES and ALFOSC, which the NBI in Copenhagen, Denmark, would deliver, each with a fully upgrade detector controller. The upgrade in the controller should address various pending issue from the commissioning of the current controller for the ALFOSC detector, and includes detector temperature control. Currently, we have a verbal agreement for them to arrive in September. A formal agreement will need to be made.

As far as possible, all the preparations for their arrival on the NOT have been completed.
