Interest in NIR astronomy automatic scheduling and data reduction system

[Nadejda Blagorodnova]

Dear all,

following today’s talk at the workshop about the science cases and potential of NIR astronomy, I would like to circulate a brief questionnaire to better understand if an automatic scheduling + data reduction system could lower the “thermal barrier” for smaller observatories to join NIR astronomy, or if there are additional difficulties. So it would be very helpful if you could answer 10 short questions about this topic.

Thank you a lot for your time and best regards,

Nadia

Dear colleagues,

your feedback is crucial for helping to assess the community interest in expanding NIR capabilities for time-domain and minor planet science, 

and identifying key barriers for start doing IR astronomy. It will only take 5 min, but it will help a lot to justify the need for a new solution for small and medium-size observatories.

It would be great if you could contribute by the 15th of September (Tuesday next week). And thank you very much if you already did so!

Best regards,

Nadia
