LBTI Instrument Status

Posted Sep 10, 2024

Announcements

As of Sept. 9, 2024, LBTI’s camera cryostat (NIC) remains off the telescope for ongoing maintenance and upgrade work, with some major uncertainty on the observing modes that will be available for 2024B and 2025A.  PIs of accepted 2024B programs will be notified of the status as soon as possible and the LBTI team and LBTO will work with them to update their projects accordingly.  Observers planning on proposing for LBTI time in 2025A should check this page or contact S. Ertel (lbtipi@lbto.org) for updates.  Operations of the SHARK-NIR, SHARK-VIS, and iLocater instruments remain unaffected.
