Detectors

We are still waiting for the new (e2v CCD231-42) detectors for FIES and ALFOSC, which the NBI in Copenhagen, Denmark, would deliver, each with a fully upgrade detector controller. The upgrade in the controller should address various pending issue from the commissioning of the current controller for the ALFOSC detector, and includes detector temperature control. Currently, we have a verbal agreement for them to arrive in September. A formal agreement will need to be made.

As far as possible, all the preparations for their arrival on the NOT have been completed.
