TASS Service Notes

What is a Service Note?

Tom Droege is distributing a set of astronomical CCD cameras, called "Mark IV" units, to a number of people. The units differ slightly in some ways from each other, due to improvements throughout the production process. These Service Notes are intended to help the users of the cameras to understand the modifications which have been made.

Guidelines for submitting Service Notes

The absolute minimum requirement is a title, a date, and an author's name. There should also be some content. Encouraged are a revision number and date, key words, and the author's e-mail address. Manuscripts may be either plain ASCII text, or HTML.

The way to submit a technical note is to mark it clearly as a Service Note and mail it either to the TASS mailing list, tass@wwa.com, or directly to me, Michael Richmond.
