Figure 3: Slit loss as a function of wavelength at different airmasses. I used our sample observation of the Lockman Hole using Keck (see Sect. 1 for details). Notice the different scales used on the plots. |

Figure 4: Average slit loss at different slit orientations. Solid line indicates East-West slit orientation, dotted lines shows North-South orientation. I used our sample observation of the Lockman Hole using Keck (see Sect. 1 for details). |

Figure 5: Average slit loss at 4500 Å at different slit orientations. I used our sample observation of the Lockman Hole using Keck (see Sect. 1 for details - left panel) and a southern field (CDFS, -27:48:30 declination - right panel). I show the effect of slit sky position angle at different hour angle ranges. For sky position angle I use the (unusual) DEIMOS definition, where 90 degree is E-W, 0 degree is N-S. |
