Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope

From September 1992 data from several instruments at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) have been archived to large optical disks. The CADC is bringing older CFHT data into the archive and by September 1994 the archive will contain data from February 1989 onward. FITS headers of all data frames are sent electronically to the Canadian Astronomical Data Center (CADC) in Victoria daily where an observation catalog is maintained. The catalog is browsable within the STARCAT system and on-line images of public CFHT data can be displayed via the ``Preview'' system developed by the CADC within Starcat (see §3.3.7.). The proprietary period for CFHT data is two years. [References: Durand (1994), Crabtree et al. (1994b).]
