CASCA 2018

June 20, 2018

This year’s Canadian Astronomical Society (CASCA) meeting saw many Gemini staff participants. Laura Ferrarese presented a summary of Canadian participation to Gemini entitled, “Gemini – Access to Both Hemispheres.” At a Gemini lunch event five presenters discussed topics relating to the future of Gemini, which included:

  • NCOA
  • LSST
  • Visiting instrument program
  • Small instrument upgrade program
  • Development of the new data reduction pipeline DRAGONS
  • Changes in Gemini users support practices, and
  • Canada’s assessment point.

We appreciate the visible location of our booth which received many visitors. Thanks to David Bohlender and all the people in Victoria who organized such a special and successful meeting.

Oh, and happy 100th anniversary to the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory!
