MODIFICATIONS TO FILTER WHEEL

Last update: November 30, 2000

In May 2000 G. Perrin made some replacements in the NICMOS3 camera filter wheel, in order to allow for some observing programs with FLUOR. To summarize, the aluminum block was eliminated (it is is now a clear hole which allows placement of external, warm filters) and replaced the J filter with one of [2.5,2.6 um] bandpass.
