Progress on FLAMINGOS-2
December 4, 2012
Work on FLAMINGOS-2 at Cerro Pachón continues. The replacement collimator lens has been installed and the multi-object spectrograph dewar cooled down. Other recent progress includes a successful realignment of the on-instrument wavefront sensor (OIWFS) with crucial support of staff from Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics in Canada. The team aims to be ready for testing in the lab by the end of this year, and back on sky in March of 2013.
