  1. Central wavelength for a slit at the center of the field.
  2. For a nominal 0.7 arcsec slit
  3. Wavelength range for slits places at X=± 1.5' from the field center. The number in parentheses is the fraction of the wavelength range for central slits covered by the spectra from slits at the extrema.
  4. Shift of the central wavelength (Å) per ΔX=1mm at the CSU (1.379 arcsec in the telescope focal plane).

Below is an efficiency plot comparison for all four grating orders.
