Conclusions

The sensitivity of the AP7 camera has allowed greatly improved acquisition of the faintest objects measured with the DBS on the ANU 2.3 m telescope. Reliable on-slit autoguiding and offset autoguiding are now also possible using the MaxIm CCD camera control software. This removes the main barrier which in the past has limited the quality of DBS spectra of the faintest objects. A User's Manual for the camera is available on the web.
