Visiting astronomers have now used the CFH telescope for 18 months in the prime focus and coudé configurations. Many observers have reported very good image quality and high resolution plates have already been obtained. The general concepts and technical details of the telescope and observatory are discussed. The focal plane instrumentation includes more than 25 instruments and detectors, and these are also discussed.
