<h3>The Telescope</h3>
<p>The 1.3-m telescope, formerly the southern-hemisphere 2MASS survey telescope, uses a split-ring altitude-azimuth mount and an optical design optimized for work in the infrared.</p>
<h3>The Detector</h3>
<p>A Novel Dual Imaging CAMera (ANDICAM) is permanently mounted on the 1.3-m. ANDICAM takes simultaneous optical and infrared data by using a dichroic with a CCD and a HgCdTe array. A moveable mirror allows dithering in the IR while an optical exposure is going on. ANDICAM is operated by the Prospero control software. It also has a twin--DANDICAM (Dutch ANDICAM)--that is used on a 1m telescope in South Africa. With ANDICAM one can obtain UBVRIJHK photometry within a 6 arcmin (optical) or 2.4 arcmin (near-IR) field. Detailed characteristics of the instrument can be found <a href="http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/ANDICAM/detectors.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>ANDICAM has been in regular operations at the 1.3-m since February 2003 by the SMARTS Consortium. Previously, it had been operated in queue mode on the 1.0-m (YALO Consortium) with the optical detector since the 1998B semester. The IR array was installed in July 1999. ANDICAM was constructed by the Ohio State astronomical instrumentation group led by Darren DePoy and its construction was funded in part by the National Science Foundation.</p>

<h3><a href="#">Phase II Submission Instructions</a></h3>
</header>
<p>Once a project has been approved for observing with ANDICAM, the PI needs to submit a detailed "Phase II" observing plan to the queue manager. This plan consists of a set of observations to be carried out, each "unit" observation of which is described by one or more data-acquisition template files called "Observation Templates" or "obs files". A set of written instructions for how to use these obs files to execute your program observations rounds out the Phase II submission package. Other elements may be required for more complex programs or those with long target lists.</p>

<h3><a href="#">Obs File Instructions</a></h3>
</header>
<p>Obs files define the target parameters and the instrument and exposure configuration of the smallest schedulable "unit observation" that can be acquired with the ANDICAM. A "unit observation" means that the choice of filters and the base integration times for each channel are fixed, but multiple images with those filters and integration times may be acquired. Similarly, IR channel observations can be dithered between images using internal tip/tilt mirror. If observations with different filters or exposure times are required, the astronomer must create a different obs file.</p>

<h3><a href="#">Multi-Obs File Instructions</a></h3>
</header>
<p>Obs files define "unit observations", specifying the instrument, detector, and target parameters and configurations needed to acquire a single observation. In addition, astronomers can create simple Multi-Observation Scripts that are used to execute a sequence of obs files for a single target. Two basic uses for multi-obsrvation scrits are complex synopic observations, and survey observations.</p>

<h3><a href="#">Phase II Forms</a></h3>
</header>
<p>If your program has been accepted, you may create, edit, and submit your observing plan. Click the link above to create observation requests with target names and coordinates, exposure times, desired filters, and more. Once your plan is finished, submit it and observations will begin as requested</p>
<header>
<h3><a href="">Phase II Submission</a></h3>
</header>
<p>Once you have created a set of Observation Template files ("obs files") for all of your program targets, you use the Phase II Submission Form to submit them to the SMARTS 1.3m telescope queue for implementation along with a set of detailed instructions for how to execute your observing program.</p>

</header>
<p>All optical data posted to the SMARTS FTP site is bias subtracted and flat field calibrated as a service to smarts members. The infrared data is binned, but not reduced further. SMARTS PIs may combine dithered IR images and preform flat fielding as needed. The a guide to the reduction can be found <a href="http://www.astro.yale.edu/smarts/smarts13m/optprocessing.html">here</a>.</p>
