This manual is based on a tutorial for MIA written by Thorsten Ratzka (MPIA), and documents on EWS originally written by Walter Jaffe (Sterrewacht Leiden), which were modified and extended by Christian A. Hummel (ESO) with help from Markus Schoeller (ESO) and members of the MIDI consortium. The version you see here was edited by Rainer Köhler (Sterrewacht Leiden).
