RAW mode observations
RAW mode observations are extremenly inefficient (see tables below).
Imaging
| Filter | RAW mode |
|---|---|
| N8.8 UIR8.6 UIR11.2 |
4.7% |
| N9.7 | N/A |
| N10.5 N11.7 N12.4 |
2.0% |
| ArIII | N/A |
| SIV | 31% |
| NeII | 20% |
Spectroscopy
| Grating | Efficiency |
|---|---|
| NL | 18% |
| NM FULL | N/A |
| NH | N/A |
For this reason (low efficiency) alone, we would not recommend the use of RAW mode; however, if it is still considered essential for some scientific purposes, please contact Support Scientist.
