Q. How do I find out if my favourite object/position was observed with CAM?


A. Use the ISO archive.
 



Q. I have CAM data.  Now what?


A. You will need the CAM software to get started.

    See  Data Reduction and Analysis software for CAM
 



Q. Where do I get more information on ...


A. There are several documents available from the IDC at VILSPA
