... Thus all regions of the 0.94-2.50 micron wavelength range accessible from Mauna Kea can be recorded using five fixed angle gratings. ... Grating Angle . ... Efficiencies for the NIFS gratings are shown above. The NIFS spectrograph uses a Bouwers collimator and a refractive camera. ... With these assumptions, the NIFS system efficiency including the Gemini telescope optics but excluding the transmission of the adaptive optics system is about 0.17 e - /photon at J , and 0.22 e - /photon at H and K . ...

... Moon Phase below . ... ARTICLE: Why the moon always shows us the same face . ... Before you continue reading, you should know that this was not always the case, i.e. the Moon once was rotating with respect to the Earth, so that on every night a terrestrial observer (if there was one, because this was long, long before mankind appeared on our planet, and even before any major animals had appeared) saw another face of the Moon. ... Figure 1 (not to scale) shows how we can imagine the system Earth-Moon...
