Thirty Meter Telescope Talk

Post by HiFiFan »

I expect to be in Ireland for a short vacation in March and am tentatively scheduled to give a talk in Dublin for Astronomy Ireland on the technology behind the Thirty Meter Telescope which will be one of the newest and largest optical & IT telescopes in the world. Date is TBD and I am not sure if it will be open to everyone or just "Astronomy Ireland" members but wanted to let you all know in case there is any interest.
I'll update this post once a date is confirmed and if I have any other details.

Yes, I spent 9 years at the 10 meter W.M. Keck Observatory and am just over 2 years at TMT.

Be nice to fit that in. I haven't been to a tirnahifi get together since the transition from the Clooney forum. My gear back then was a far cry from my current setup but was probably just as much fun.

Sounds good to me too. And a big plus one if there is a hi-fi meet up too...
It's OK, if there is no bread I will eat cake.

Talk got delayed since I couldn't make it to Ireland but has now been confirmed for Monday Oct 16h, I think around 7:00 pm. It will be somewhere in Trinity. Astronomy Ireland just posted it on their site but there are no details yet. I'll post a link to the event once they have provided full details. Hope 1 or 2 of you might be able to make it.
