NEWFIRM comes to Tololo

NEWFIRM is on its way to Cerro Tololo and the Blanco telescope.
It was picked up at Kitt Peak on March 11 and is due to fly from Miami to Santiago today, March 15. Ron Probst (in the picture) and Jack Carlson will travel to Chile at the end of March and start the integration, commissioning and training process with a large crew of enthusiastic Tololinos. The plan is for it to be offered to observers at the Blanco in early May.
