... Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) are currently by far the most widely used type of detector in astronomy. ... After a brief introduction to the VLT Control System, the VLT CCD Detectors Control Software is presented. The VLT Control System is a distributed system consisting of a set of UNIX Workstations, dedicated to high level operations, such as coordination of sub-system activities and interface to the users, and VME-based Local Control Units (LCU), dedicated to the control of sub-systems hardware. ...

At Arecibo we have a variety of optical instruments that we use to study terrestrial airglow emissions. ... As a complement to the airglow instrumentation we also maintain a set of optical instruments, called lidars, used for "active" remote sensing of the atmosphere. That is, we generate our own source signal using lasers and measure the characteristics of the light scattered back from the atmosphere. ... An operations manual for the Optical Laboratories is currently under major revision. ...
