Here you will find the most up to date status of the telescope and the instruments along with the publicly available documentation, manuals.

 

  • A late announcement for Observer Target List: Right clicking on table allows the Air Mass column to be computed for a specified time of day
  • Two minor additions to End-Of-Night Report; IGRINS has been added to the list of instruments and "Did Not Open" was added to the drop down for Quality of the Night

  • Major change in the way the Quick Look functions for DeVeny work. Instead of a pop-up dialog box, the plots are displayed in a view and are persistent.
  • One can now use Observer Target List to construct & send a target to TCS without needing a target list file.
  • The dither column on CAT is now editable. Please note that the row has to be clicked on (re-selected) for a new dither value to be pushed.

  • Observer Target List has a new column displaying the Time of Transit for the object
  • camera control views for all the instruments have a new widget for setting the rotator PA

  • There is a new app on baggins for observers to file an End-Of-Night report. It will be helpful if all observers submit this form at the end of each observing session.

  • Observer Target List now has a button for plotting a sky map of the active target list tab.
  • Pattern view has a new column for Filter Move throws. It is important to remember that the filter wheel motion in LMI is in one direction only and this column will be helpful in designing patterns that minimize filter wheel motion.

 

Please note that the master observing schedule is on the DCT Science Schedule page.
