Date:

Friday, December 14, 2012

Telescope:

CTIO Blanco 4-m

Submitter:

D. Kelson

Observer Support:

None

Claudio Aguilera

Also Present:

Problems:

The TCS died at the beginning of the night. So we lost 30min during evening twilight.

Comments:

What a fantastic camera! Yes there are glitches (mainly due to, probably, the mirror having a sudden jump and the guiders

being slow to move the images back, and since the guiders take 20-30s to move back, this has a big impact on 120s or 180s

exposures), but for a new new new instrument, it is just AWESOME!
