Observing databases offline September 5 (North) and 9 (South)

The Gemini observing databases will be offline for several hours while we perform quarterly software updates. Gemini North will be offline on Thursday September 5, and Gemini South will be offline on Monday September 9. During these times the Observing Tool fetch/store and file transfers will be unavailable and web report forms will be offline. The new 2013B Observing Tool, which is an optional but recommended update, will be available for download on Tuesday September 10. Please check this site for further announcements.
