External

External lamps of quartz-halogen, helium, neon, and mercury, will be mounted at the end of the telescope for projection against a screen on a screen mounted below the secondary mirror. The flats and calibrations taken in this way will be the normal mode of calibration, although flat-fields taken in twilight and night-sky exposures will be preferred when possible.
