Way back on June 3, a lightning strike knocked out a bunch of vital electronics at the University of Hawaii's 2.2-meter telescope
on Mauna Kea. After lots of work, the engineers and technicians
finally got it back to normal operations this past Wednesday, and now
word's gotten out to the media.
So,
congrats to telescope manager Colin Aspin, engineer Bob Calder,
technicians Mike and Scott, support scientist Mark Willman and operators
John, Dave, Greg, Richard and Callie, on getting back on-sky! I hope
to do some observing in the near future. :)
