Title: Recent Developments at CFHT

Dr. Eugene Magnier
IfA/CFHT

CFHT is bringing several exciting initiatives online in the next 1.5 semesters. 
These include a new instrument (CFHT IR), new observing practices (QSO & 
Remote Observing), and a new data handling strategy (Elixir). CFHT IR is a new 
1024 x 1024 IR array for work at f/8 giving it a FOV of about 3.5 arcmin. 
QSO / Remote Observing will make CFHT more flexible and hopefully more 
scientifically productive, starting in semester 2001A. Elixir will facilitate 
the analysis of data from the large mosaic cameras by providing high quality 
flat-fields and image calibrations, both photometric and astrometric. I will 
discuss all of these topics in some detail, concentrating on my own 
contributions with Elixir
