  • Back on sky with two telescopes!

Words from Randy

Randy

  • Positive feedback on the new TeamKeck review process

  • Probably going to level 3 soon, stay tuned for developments this week

  • Last night K1 was pretty much flawless, weird split night between HIRES/OSIRIS-LGS/HIRES

    • During science verification night, with TRICK on the GC, the image quality was so high that the images were under-sampled

  • Randy suggests the use of breakout rooms on Zoom to have side conversations

  • Jim has added the host key in the showpassword repository

  • Remember to properly log tickets/issues with pajamas mode

  • Policies about first time observers and pajama parties

  • We might be able to have some funding to produce a more reliable and safe solution

testAll

Greg

  • Maybe we should differentiate testAll from instrument checkout scripts

  • Suggestion 1: For now SAs be proactive to connect with summit lead regarding instrument checkout status

  • Suggestion 2: SAs and summit lead connect at 2 pm to touch base on instrument and telescope readiness

  • Carlos has a script to check DEIMOS readiness, may be helpful for other instruments.
