I got about a dozen requests and so I will wait till the report has been reproduced 'officially' before mailing them. This may take a week or two. Sorry I havent the time to get another doctorate in photocopying (PhD)... Cheers Paddy -- _________________________________________________________________ | .. | | /||\ .

We have now completed a report on this visit - 'The Provision of New, Large Format CCDs for the ING Telescopes' and it contains much information on the USA 'scene' and what is happening with our contract with EEV here in the UK. The report will be issued as an RGO technical note (not a grand category for this piece of writing...) and should be available on request. If anyone is interested in getting a copy and there are only a few requests then I will copy and send them out. If there are more than a few then they will be issued via Bill Martin (email- CAVAD::WLM) as the appropriate technical note in due course. The current circulation list is as follows- R.G.O.- A. Boksenberg C. Jenkins (I.W.G) M. R. Johnson N. M. Parker M. Pettini R.G.O. Support Astronomers I.N.G. Support Astronomers E.S.O. - O. Iwert A.A.O. - J. Barton R. Cannon Galileo - F.
