This plot places current instrument projects in the context of both wavelength coverage in the electromagnetic spectrum and the size of telescope. CorMASS is currently in operation on the VATT, and the FOBOS was commissioned this spring. The NIR Camera for the Fan Mountain 31-inch telescope funded by NSF achieved first light on the telescope in late December 2004 and TripleSpec is in the fabrication phase.
