First, sorry to all for forgetting to change the subject when I started discussing the imaging session on Chuck's Venus thread. Kudos to Chuck, BTW, for a great image. But now that I've changed the subject line, as to tonight's imaging session, despite the conditions improving on Maui the scope there never did come on line. So JD programmed the 2m to take images automatically at the next opportunity. He then switched us to the 1m in Chile which we initially thought we could not get time on. But a chunk of time opened and the images started coming in. At that point a number of folks headed for ATS. SLAS ended up getting kicked off by a higher priority project but enough data were received to work with and Tyler said the data received were superb. The plan is for JD to send Rodger the URL to all of the data once it's all collected. Rodger will then publish the URL so that anyone who cares to can download and process the images. Tyler is then going to work his magic on the data at next month's SLAS meeting. BTW, I think tonight's experience might show why so few really get into this stuff. It's really is a complex, tedious and some might even say boring process. But the results, for those who really stick with it can be stunning.
