✦ Synopsis

The Gemini Telescopes are being built to exploit the splendid infrared sites of Mauna Kea in Hawaii and Cerro Pachon iu Chile. Both telescopes are being designed to deliver O;l arcsecond images at 2.2 PITI to the focal plane. This image sise includes all trackiug aud enclosure effects. To exploit the superb in&red characteristics of the sites and telescopes we will require a new generation of IR instruments which will challenge both instrument designers and infrared array technologies.

The near infrared camera (NIRC) was used for a science demonstration run on the Keck telescope during 16-24 March 1993. The camera used a 256 x 256 InSb array manufactured by Santa Barbara Research Corporation. Observations were obtained using narrowband and broad band filters horn 1 to 2.4 microns,
