Me in the CFHT control room

I am currently working on the OHANA project together with the OHANA team, who aim to make a large and sensitive optical/IR array with the Mauna Kea 3 to 10 meter telescopes. The telescopes will be linked with single-mode fibers to carry the coherence of the beams from the output of the telescopes adaptive optics systems to the  beam  combination  units. Currently we are working in the prototype which consists of a whole lot of fiber optics and two 8 inch Celestron telescopes. The goal for this week is to get a interferometric fringe pattern using light from bright stars imaged in H-band.
