UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey Operations

This page is the starting point for all matters relating to UKIRT Sky Survey operations. It includes notes for UKIDSS observers, policy statements on the subject of data distribution, details of the scheduling and operation of UKIRT and WFCAM, etc. At present it also contains some specific notes on non-UKIDSS WFCAM operations. Some of these items will eventually migrate off this page.
