Network status: Dome B in Australia, planned DB upgrade

Oct 4, 2016

The Sinistro camera on the telescope in Dome B at Siding Spring Observatory is now available for science observations. The images will be processed through the BANZAI pipeline as soon as we have acquired sufficient flat fields.
On October 6, from approximately 16 - 18 UT, we will be upgrading one of our databases. During these two hours, the telescopes will continue to acquire data, the user portal will function normally, and requests for queue observations will be accepted. However the network schedule will not be altered during this interval, and it will not be possible to process requests for "Rapid Response" observations. New requests will be considered by the scheduler as soon as the database is brought back online.
