The Fast
InfraRred
Photometer for lunar
Occultations is a collaboration between
Arcetri, Heidelberg and Jena. It is based on an InSb
photometer, with a trans-impedance
pre-amplifier.
The acquisition is based on a
PC, and can store data
in a continuous mode for long times up to frequencies
of several kHz. It has been operative since 1993,
and several
publications have resulted.
This is a picture gallery of the instrument and its main components:

A
quick
guide is available, with general instructions. It may be useful
to check out the latest
news,
and the schedule of the forthcoming
runs.
At the end of a run, please send comments and reports to
luna@arcetri.inaf.it,
it will help to keep things updated.
These are the
people
that may be contacted in case of necessity. A few
messages are available,
which can be of help in case of problems.
