Just a quick reminder for MagAO users who may be considering submitting a telescope proposal in the near future: MagAO will not be available for general use in the 2016B semester. The system will be on the telescope during the semester, but for engineering work only. This work includes recalibration, and installation of the MagAO-2K upgrades: more modes controlled, faster speed (up to 2000 Hz), and installation and commissioning of a new detector for Clio.

2016A Day 22: Keep On Turning
Our last day at LCO (this time) was a critter filled day.
The Guanaco herd, complete with youngun, made an appearance. The pictures didn’t turn out though.
Today we packed up a lot of stuff.
Some things were more carefully packed than others.
So long LCO. See you next time.
Made of Silver. Once.
2016A Day 20: No One Can Hurt You Now
Safe and sound.
2016A Day 18: Stuck On Tight
2016A Day 16: My World Is A Flood
But I haven’t become one with the mud yet.
We’re really enjoying the close proximity of raptors right now. They love the low-turbulence ground layer at LCO as much as we do, and it’s fun to watch.
This song has been on the blog before. Then it was in reference to 40 days spent at LCO. Today, it is about something else.
