CanariCam's UF Home Page Gators 2006


This page describes the CanariCam instrument as we head through integration in the UF astronomy lab, acceptance testing and then commissioning on the GranTeCan on the beautiful island of La Palma.  

These pages will evolve throughout the remainder of the project - please email suggestions and comments to Chris Packham at the University of Florida.  And for those of you who want to see Charlie's TV spot...
