LBTO and COVID-19 Phase 2: Observing in "C-19 mode" Posted on June 20, 2020
LBTO was back on sky for engineering on June 1st and, since June 3rd, has been observing for its users in "C-19 observing mode" based on a desire to segregate the Graham County staff (where the mountain staff resides) and the Tucson-based staff as much as possible, in order to avoid making the observatory on Mt Graham a connection between the two communities. Telescope and instruments are operated from Tucson with mountain staff monitoring the observatory on Mt Graham and LBT partner observers eavesdropping from their home institution.
