Scientific paper
A full color image of the Orion nebula observed with the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) is presented which reveals the presence of a dense young cluster of about 500 young stars. A history of the development of the strictly telescope part of the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) is given. Early and present day performances are compared. Improvements in telescope optics, dome seeing, pointing, dynamic performance, thermal infrared performance and autoguiding are discussed. Publications based on UKIRT observations are listed. An analysis of UKIRT observing time, information on service observing and the instruments available (supported by VAX/ADAM software) are presented.
