Prof. Sam Lawler on Nostr: My giant telescope program actually should have been done already, but the telescope ...
My giant telescope program actually should have been done already, but the telescope broke for a few months last year. So, the next 4 months will be our last shot at trying to save a couple of our fields (which could be important for testing Planet 9-like theories... or not, depending on what we find)
The dark run is only a week, but it involves a lot of communication with my co-PI, making fast decisions on data from the previous night, and programming the telescope every day.
