NEWFIRM Survey
Thursday, March 12, 2009
Tonight is the second night of our first (of three) observing runs this semester to complete our JHKs imaging survey of the NDWFS Bootes field using the NEWFIRM camera on the KPNO 4m. Tonight is hampered by 2” seeing and clouds, but overall progress on the survey is reasonable. Total allocation for this semester is 22.5 nights.
