Scientific paper

Initial results of laboratory and on-sky tests of the new Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) multi-object spectrograph, metal oxide semiconductor (MOS)/superconducting / insulating / superconducting (SIS), are described. MOS/SIS contains two ways, one of which is primarily intended for imagery and spectroscopy of many tens of objects within a 10 min field, while the other utilizes tip/tilt image stabilization for high spatial resolution imagery and spectroscopy over a 3 min field. Data on image quality, transmission, flexure and stability are presented, as well as a description of the multi-object observing performance. This highly integrated system incorporates yttrium-aluminum garnet (YAG) laser drilling equipment and allows on-line acquisition, aperture mask design and fabrication for multi-slit observations with minimum overhead. A comprehensive software interface provides observers with a user-friendly environment and ensures that all operations can be quickly and efficiently controlled by novice users.
