User crib sheets
The links below are intended for as general user pages. They contain information that most AAOmega support staff will be familiar with. They are intended as references at which to point less experienced AAOmega users (when they ask for answers to specific questions and ones does not want to simply point the user at a whole manual), and are included here for completeness. Most of the information below is contained within the various manuals, but these crib sheets are intended to be easier to digest.
