Descripción
The basic capabilities of the Wide Field Imager (WFI) were described in
a previous Messenger article (No. 93, p. 13; see also Table 1) which
also includes a brief account of the contributions by the three
participating institutes, namely ESO (Garching and La Silla), the
Max-Planck- Institut für Astronomie in Heidelberg, and the
Osservatorio Astronomico di Capodimonte in Napoli. Table 1 summarises
the most important characteristics. A first fairly complete version of
the user manual is now offered via the WFI home page on the Web (URL:
http://www.ls.eso.org/ lasilla/Telescopes/2p2T/E2p2M/WFI/WFI. html).
The same page also provides access to some examples of pictures
obtained with the instrument. An exposure time calculator is available
under the URL: http://www.eso.org/observing/etc/
