Note: DFOSC downgrade
From the beginning of April 2004, DFOSC will be offered in a downgraded
state, with the spectroscopic capability removed.
The internal grism- and filter wheels and the shutter are removed, and only the FASU filter wheels and shutter can be used.
The rotator is locked to one position that will allow increased sky
access without moving the telescope to the other side of the pier.
In order to coordinate the Danish effort in building
instruments for ground-based astronomical research
, IJAF was inagurated January 1996.
With mechanical and electronic workshops in close contact with astronomers,
state-of-the-art instruments for telescopes worldwide are being built.
Other tasks includes maintenance of several telescopes and allocation
of the Danish fraction of observing time on the 1.54m telescope at La Silla.
