Hydra is a multiobject spectrograph using fiber optics robotically positioned in the focal plane to allow up to 100 separate objects to be observed at a time.

The light is guided to a spectrograph room under the main telescope where a CCD camera records the spectrum of each object.

The NEID is also assisted by The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) with super-computer time and expertise in the scientific search for new exoplanets.

ODI utilizes both WIYN's one degree field of view and excellent image quality.

[11] Corrections will be done over the entire field of view, making ODI a unique and competitive instrument in the era of wide-field surveys.

The upgraded ODI, now using 30 OTAs in a 5x6 layout was recommissioned in summer 2015 and has been available for science observations since October 2015.

[2] The WIYN Consortium is governed by a board of directors, which includes three members of each partner institution.

The Science Steering Committee provides scientific guidance to the board and the WIYN director.
