ONE DEGREE IMAGER (ODI) Status Updates
New u Filter Arrives! - December 14, 2015
The new u' band filter for the One Degree Imager has arrived.
We are happy to announce that the long-anticipated ODI u'-band filter has arrived from Asahi Spectra at WIYN. While we are still in the process of fully characterizing the new filter, we are happy to report that based on our first light experience, all our expectations for this filter have been met. Limited by natural seeing, the delivered image quality in the u'-band has been verified to be better than 0.65" over the entire field of view. We are currently working on the details of the photometric calibration, but the first indication is that the u'-band throughput of the telescope and instrument system is excellent and within the expected range.
