Home of MagAO and MagAO-X.
MagAO is all ready to go on the telescope. ASM is in the dome, NAS is packed up, and Clio is cold (enough). Here are a couple of standard day before pics.
A new feature at LCO is a crosswalk at the occasionally busy saddle intersection. Such things usually occur for a reason. I suspect that Alycia was involved . . .
We had our first Gary Galileo Guanaco visit of the run.
And we watched a nice sunset.
I recommend playing the song of the day on the loudest sound system you have access too.
Well, here we go. Laird, Katie, Jared, and Ya-Lin are on our way to LCO. We’ve already not seen our first green flash.
I’m a bit worried though. We’re not even a day into the run and Laird is already exhausted.
So we’re bringing back the old “Telephone Game” rules. As usual, every day must have at least one post, each post-of-the-day must use the 2017A Day X: [title] format, and each of these must include a song of the day. During 2017A each song of the day must be related to the day before’s song. We leave it up to our carefully vetted team of bloggers to decide whether they explicitly state the relationship. There are no other rules (we call this the Hernán rule).
I don’t have wifi in my room tonight.
We’re all done, leaving tomorrow.
Song of the day:
Dee-ner Dee-ner Dee-ner Dee-ner,
Dee-ner Dee-ner Dee-ner Dee-ner,
Dee-ner Dee-ner Dee-ner Dee-ner,
Dee-ner Dee Dee Dee.
(the rules say nothing about what form the song must take)
Well that sucked. We ended our run with a crap night, high winds, higher seeing, and jumping actuators. MagAO comes off in the morning, so that’s it.
The burros made me think of this.
This is my 303rd day spent at LCO. Most of our crew of AOistas have left, it’s down to just Laird, Alfio, Katie, and Jared, with the addition of Kate who joined us tonight.
