Spectroscopy

With the installation of the new Z and Y filter they can be used as order sorter filter with the grism and these wavelength regions also become available for spectroscopy. Tests are planned using standard stars to determine the spectroscopic capabilities of NOTCam in these filters. Wavelength calibration tests will be made so we can provide line maps.

Still, the status of the baffle lamps used for spectroscopy calibration with NOTCam needs to be added to the TCS database such that this information can be added to FITS keywords. Also the status of the lamps needs to be added to the NOTCam user interface so it is easier to see which lamps are on or off.
