/* Suitable Uses */
*Spectroscopy
*Low-cadence imaging: the camera is not a frame transfer camera, and in normal operation exposures are readout after the closure of an iris shutter. The shutter is life-cycle limited and not suitable for high-cadence observations.
*High-cadence imaging: it is possible to deactivate the shutter but users should be aware that this will result in some readout smearing. There is also no GPS triggering of the exposures but the times recorded in the header (Keyword = DATE-OBS) is the start of the exposure and has been measured to be accurate within ~50ms of absolute time (see hereTODO). NB. High cadence observing (e.g. multiple continues exposures with exposure times < 30sec) SHOULD NOT be done with the shutter on AUTO mode. It is very important to set the shutter to "ALWAYS OPEN" which will deactivate the shutter in the open state but flush the CCD before the start of each new exposure.
