Gemini
North Semester 2020A - Dates are local
HST
The
semester calendar shows multi-instrument queue nights, scheduled classical or
Priority Visitor runs, and engineering or commissioning. Dates are local HST,
dates in red are weekends and holidays.
Instruments
potentially usable are indicated by the colored-horizontal bands (see color
key below).
Note: Rapid ToO PIs should always check the current configuration page.
Altair
is curreuntly unavailable, i.e. no AO observations (LGS or NGS) and work is
on going to fix it. Until then, Altair is shown as "white", i.e.
unavailable for the whole semester.
NIFS
will be put on the telescope after Altair has been repaired. Maroon-X is on
the bottom port. We are uncertain when we can carry out the next instrument
change.
