My schedule

I do not have a typical schedule, because it depends if I am working in Hilo or at the summit, if we are observing or preparing for observations, etc. I am working on upgrading the instrument at the summit these days, so this would be my typical work day on the mountain:

a certain day schedule
a certain day schedule

09:00

Arrive at Halepōhaku*

*the facility on the mountain at 2700 m, to acclimate to the altitude

Subaru Telescope

Rare to see!

This is one of my favorite pictures of the telescope I took, when a TV crew was visiting, and the dome was opened during the day so they could film it. It is rare to see the dome open during the day, so I am glad I was there to see it.

SCExAO

The deformable mirror of SCExAO

This mirror is the heart of the instrument, very thin and has 2000 microscopic motors behind it that we control several thousand times a second, to change its shape. We use it to compensate the distortion of the atmosphere called turbulence, to have the sharpest images of stars that we can.
