Avant-Propos
La cinquième réunion des utilisateurs du Télescope Canada-France-Hawaii a eu lieu à Québec du 18 au 20 mai 1998. Environ une centaine de participants étaient présents à l'évènement organisé par le Conseil Scientifique Consultatif (SAC), dirigé par John Hutchings, et le comité local de l'Université Laval supervisé par Gilles Joncas. L'agent français de liaison était Jean-Gabriel Cuby.
La réunion s'est déroulée dans le charmant environnement de la Vieille Cité de Québec sous un temps des plus cléments. Le programme de la réunion préparé par le SAC se divise en quatre parties: 1) l'instrumentation; 2) l'opération du télescope; 3) la science accomplie au TCFH et, 4) une discussion générale débatant divers point liés à l'observatoire. La troisième journée, consacrée à la science faite au TCFH, était tenue conjointement avec la réunion de la Société Canadienne d'Astronomie. Avec la venue des télescopes de 8-10m, la position du TCFH comme outil de pointe pour la recherche effectuée par les communautés impliquées va changer significativement. La réunion constituait donc un évènement particulièrement important pour mieux définir les besoins et dresser un plan général du futur du TCFH.
Ces comptes rendus présentent la plupart des contributions orales et affiches inclus au programme de la réunion. La discussion générale y est aussi incluse presque dans son contenu intégral. Il est aussi important de noter que ces comptes rendus sont disponibles en entier sur le site Web du TCFH; la qualité des illustrations est en générale bien meilleure sur la version informatisée. Quelques contributions n'ont pas été reçues mais pour rendre justice au contenu global de la réunion, les titres de ces contributions sont présentés dans un appendice.
Le TCFH entre dans une phase cruciale de son histoire. Les réunions précédentes ont eu un impact majeur sur les activités de l'observatoire et nous sommes donc portés à croire que la réunion de Québec aura des conséquences aussi considérables. Nous espérons que ces comptes rendus seront un guide pour les choix stratégiques qui affecteront le futur à court, moyen et long terme du TCFH.

Remerciements
Les éditeurs désirent remercier tous les participants, en particulier
les auteurs qui ont contribué aux comptes rendus, et aussi le SAC pour
la planification générale de la réunion. Le Comité local
organisateur de l'Université Laval, sous la supervision de Gilles Joncas,
doit être félicité pour avoir permis le succès de cette réunion.
Chapeau! Nous voulons aussi remercier Moani Akana pour avoir passer
un temps considérable à mettre

Foreword
The fifth Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope User's Meeting was held in Quebec City on May 18-20 1998. About one hundred participants were present at the event organized by the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) under the leadership of John Hutchings and by the local committee at Laval University headed by Gilles Joncas. The French liason was Jean-Gabriel Cuby.
The meeting took place in the charming surrounding of the Old City of Quebec during beautiful weather. The program of the meeting, prepared by SAC, was divided into four parts: 1) instrumentation; 2) telescope operation issues; 3) science done at CFHT and, 4) a general discussion on subjects related to the observatory. The third day, dedicated to the science done at CFHT, was held jointly with the meeting of the Canadian Astronomical Society. In the new era of 8-10m telescopes, the position of CFHT as a first rank facility for research for the involved communities will certainly change. Thus, the meeting was particularly important to better define the needs and establish a general plan for the future of CFHT.
These proceedings include most of the oral talks and posters presented at the meeting. An integral part of the meeting was the general discussion which is also included. It is important to note that these proceedings are available on the CFHT Web site; The quality of the figures is, in general, much better in that version. Some contributions were not received, but to be fair to the program actually presented during the meeting, the titles of these papers are given in an appendix.
CFHT is entering a crucial phase in its history. Previous meetings had a major impact on the activities of the observatory and we believe that this Quebec meeting will also have considerable implications. We hope that these proceedings will be a useful guide for the strategic choices affecting the short, mid- and long term future of CFHT.

Acknowledgements
The editors want to thank all the participants, especially those who contributed to these proceedings, and the SAC for the general planning of this meeting. The local organizing committee of Laval University, under the supervision of Gilles Joncas, deserves warm congratulations for the success of the meeting. Well done! We thank also Moani Akana for the tedious task of transcribing the recording of the general discussion.
