Another Successful Subaru Observing Run

2/26/2014

We are just wrapping up another successful observing run on Subaru, see the previous post for details. Many thanks to the excellent Subaru staff who keep one of the worlds best optical telescopes running smoothly. Particular thanks to our support astronomer Takuya Fujiyoshi and telescope operator Josh Williams.

Despite just taking the observations we are already producing results.  James Jee created the RXC J1314.4-2515 image to the left in a matter of hours.  This is part of our bold plan to image the cluster, reduce the data, create Keck DEIMOS slitmasks, and get the masks milled in time for our Keck observations. All within a 4 day window.  A fun test of our observational expertise.
