... Purpose: Monitor the bias in the 1x1 bin settings at gain=1, and 1x1 at gain = 4, to build up high S/N superbiases and track the evolution of hot columns. Also GAIN=1 and GAIN=4, 1x1 biases through AMPS A and C to use in combination with biases taken through AMP D for monitoring of the read noise Description: Take fullframe bias exposures in the 1x1 bin settings at gain=1, and 1x1 at gain = 4. ... 14 BOP Predicted Local Count Rate for MAMA.: ...

On 19/20 October 1995 we used GRIM II to attempt spectroscopy of the 2.3 micron CO absorption band in stellar clusters. ... Read Noise Our typical backgrounds in 60s were about 100 DN (about 500 e), and so for faint objects our noise is utterly dominated by the read noise of about 110 e. We can think of three ways to improve this situation: integrate longer; reduce the read noise; or implement multiple reads. ... Flats The quartz lamps were too dim for flats. ...
