SAO Widefield InfraRed Camera (SWIRC)

SWIRC

The SAO Widefield InfraRed Camera (SWIRC) operates at the f/5 focus of the MMT. Proposed in May 2003 and commissioned in June 2004, the goal of the instrument was to deliver quickly a wide field-of-view instrument with minimal optical elements and hence high throughput. With the arrival of MMIRS at the MMT, SWIRC is no longer available.
