Future WIYN Instrumentation

Below is a list of instruments that are currently being developed for use on WIYN. If you have questions about any of the instruments please contact the appropriate Instrument or Project Scientist.

If you are an observer interested in using any of these instruments on WIYN you can find information on how to apply for telescope time by clicking the Observing link to the right.

Detailed information on the WIYN Telescope is available on the WIYN Technical Specifications page.

The One Degree Imager

The One Degree Imager (ODI) is the flagship of WIYN's new instrument initiatives. ODI will utilize both WIYN's one degree field of view and excellent image qualtity. The focal plane of the optical imager will be sampled with 0.1" pixels, or 1 Gigapixels in total. The sharpness of images will be actively improved by correcting images for tip/tilt image motion during the integration corrections will be done over the entire field of view, using a novel detector technology called Orthogonal Transfer Array CCD, making ODI a unique and competitive instrument in the era of wide-field surveys. ODI is funded by the WIYN partners and the National Science Foundation.
