Abstract: The Near Infrared Camera and MultiObject Spectrometer (NICMOS) was installed on the Hubble Space Telescope during the Second Servicing Mission in February, 1997. NICMOS Proposal 7111, the imaging of Orion OMC-1, was selected as an Early Release Observation (ERO) to be executed in the Science Mission Observatory Verification (SMOV) period shortly afterwards. Calibration and analysis of this observation posed very interesting challenges for the authors, in particular dealing with an exciting new instrument whose on-orbit calibration was not yet well defined.
