The WIYN consortium is building the One Degree Imager (ODI) for its 3.5m telescope at Kitt Peak. ODI's design excels in exceptional image quality and active image motion compensation through the use of Orthogonal Transfer Array CCDs. The 1 square degree field of view will be sampled almost one billion 0.1 arcseconds wide pixels. ODI will be the largest wide-field imager with open access to the US community.
ODI's design has been completed, and the project entered the construction phase. In this poster we report about ODI's final design and expected performance. We summarize the timeline of the instrument's assembly and testing, which will extend throughout 2009. Installation at the telescope and start of scientific commissioning is scheduled to start in the semester 2010A, which is in a little bit more than a year from now.
