PANIC
PANIC was successfully commissioned on the Clay Telescope in April 2003. It is currently available on the East Nasmyth Platform of the Walter Baade Telescope.
 | PANIC (Persson's Auxilliary Nasmyth Infrared Camera) is a near-infrared camera designed to operate at one of the folded ports (formerly known as auxilliary nasmyth ports) of the 6.5m Magellan telescopes at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. PANIC contains a Rockwell 1024x1024 infrared (HAWAII) detector with 0.125 arcsecond pixels, corresponding to a 2x2 arcminute field of view. The current filters include four broadband filters: Y, J, H, Ks and two narrowband filters: H2 and Br γ. |
