AbstractThe NSF's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) is the world's largest observatory for the sun. Its four meter aperture and state-of-the-art wavefront correction system and instrumentation will facilitate new insights into the complexities of the solar atmosphere. In this contribution, we will lay out the details and status of the integrated high order adaptive optics system and the diverse first light instruments that are being commissioned: The Visible Spectro-Polarimeter (ViSP), the Visible Broadband Imager (VBI), the Visible Tunable Filter (VTF), the Diffraction-Limited SpectroPolarimeter (DL-NIRSP) and the Cryogenic Spectro-Polarimeter (Cryo-NIRSP). We will present first data demonstrating the telescope's instrument systems performance.
