Scientific paper

The Fine Guidance Sensors (FGS) are a system of photomultiplier tubes and white light amplitude interferometers (Koester's prism) which are used for the fine guidance of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The purpose of the handbook is to provide information to a potential user of the FGS so that he may explore the feasibility of performing various observations. A brief overview is given of how the FGS works, along with an explanation of the instrument in some detail. The procedure for estimating exposure times is explained. The observing modes are described. Some details needed to specify the exposures and observation requirements on the proposal forms are explained. Data reduction procedures are outlined.
