MORIS (MIT Optical Rapid Images System) is an instrument for use on the IRTF. This high-speed, visible wavelength camera is mounted on the side window of SpeX, an near-IR imager and spectrograph. This design is based on POETS (Portable Occultation, Eclipse, and Transit System), which was developed by MIT and Williams Colleges.

MORIS was built as a joint MIT/IRTF project. The official MORIS web page is hosted by MIT at: http://occult.mit.edu/instrumentation/MORIS/.
This excellent an web site documenting MORIS's construction and use.

So what's is this page for?
After MORIS came to the IRTF, a project to run the camera using with a IRTF like interface (XUI, DV) under linux was started in 2011. This page documents this effort, and will hosts the MORIS Linux documentation.
