Description:
    This database contains a log of the Gemini Telescope observations
    since 2001, managed by the Canadian Astronomical Data Center (CADC).

    The data are regularly updated (see the date of the last version at
    the end of this file).

    The Gemini Observatory consists of twin 8.1-meter diameter
    optical/infrared telescopes located on two of the best observing sites
    on the planet. From their locations on mountains in Hawai'i and Chile,
    Gemini Observatory's telescopes can collectively access the entire
    sky.

    Gemini is operated by a partnership of five countries including the
    United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina and Chile. Any astronomer in
    these countries can apply for time on Gemini, which is allocated in
    proportion to each partner's financial stake.

Acknowledging Gemini and CADC data in publications:
    If you have used CADC facilities for your research, you should refer
    to the data as obtained "from the CADC" and include the following
    acknowledgment in any publication:
    "Guest User, Canadian Astronomy Data Centre, which is operated by the
    Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics, National Research Council of
    Canada."
