A foreoptics adapter has been built for the Learjet telescope which permits simultaneous viewing of the visible star field in the image plane and acquisition of astronomical data at infrared wavelengths (less than 1 micrometer). The device uses an adjustable dichroic beamsplitter to transmit visible wavelengths to an eyepiece (or television camera), and to reflect infrared wavelengths to a port where an infrared detector system can be mounted. The instrument is intended as a multiple user facility for the Learjet telescope. This report describes the adapter and its use.
