Autofib-2 is a robotic fiber system for the prime focus of the William Herschel telescope capable of placing up to 150 fibers in the 1 degree focal plane of the telescope. The fibers are fed to a purpose built spectrograph (WYFFOS) mounted on one of

The data acquisition and control systems for the William Herschel Telescope use a "mimic" display to present an easily assimilated view of the status of the telescope, its instruments and detectors. This display is specified in a set of data files th

Methods of observing where the observer continually interacts with the on-line system do not always make optimum use of the time available. Given the increasing pressure on observing time, it is now being recognised that both advance planning and gre

Modern telescopes of the 4m class, such as the William Herschel Telescope, provide astronomers with a rich set of complex instrumentation. The elements of instruments such as those which one might find on the WilT need careful integration and control
