The WIYN consortium is building the next generation optical imager for its 3.5m telescope, located at Kitt Peak, AZ, USA. This new One Degree Imager (ODI) will sample the telescope's focal plane over one full square degree with 0.11 arcsecond pixels to fully harvest WIYN's superb image quality. Further image improvement will be achieved through tip/tilt image motion compensation over the entire field of view, facilitating newly developed Orthogonal Transfer Array (OTA) CCD detectors. Once installed, ODI will provide one of the highest information content among the next generation of optical imagers.
In this poster I will present an overview of the ODI instrument design and its expected performance. I will outline the roadmap for instrument installation and commissioning in 2010, and the incremental release of ODI for science use in the second half of 2010.
