  Users of the 3.5-m telescope, and especially those who plan
to use the Drift-scan Camera, may be interested in an
analysis of some images taken with the 3.5-m + DSC on
May 25, 1995.  The analysis covers observations made
only in the SDSS r' band, but I believe it may prove
useful for those who are trying to figure exposure times
and make observing plans.

  You can find the document in the SDSS Archives, under

               Level One Evaluation

Or, if you prefer, 

    http://astro.princeton.edu:81/levelone.eval/sa57_r/r_band.html

  This is a much-revised version of an earlier document.
It contains about 1.2 Meg of images and graphs, but all that
net-impacting stuff will only appear if you click on HTML
buttons.  In other words, you should be able to grab the text
pretty quickly.

  One interesting fact is that I measure the overall throughput 
of the 3.5-m + DSC to be about 13% through the r' filter.
