Documentation: An electronic version of this Handbook will be maintained on the WWW site. In addition, more detailed technical information (not needed to propose for Cycle 7) concerning the development, performance, ground testing, operation and calibration of NICMOS itself are found in a series of NICMOS instrument science and calibration reports maintained on the web, while others can be obtained upon request from the Help Desk.
User Support: Will contain general information on data reduction and -support for HST users.
Software: Some software can be retrieved or run directly over the web, including an exposure time calculator, and a flux units conversion program.
Frequently Asked Questions: A list of frequently asked questions about NICMOS, and their answers, ranging from proposal preparation to data analysis.
