We're hiring!

We're looking for a new Assistant Site Manager. If you're interested or know someone who is, check out the job ad at https://t.co/UqrGW045or

[John Monnier @AstroMonnier]

@CHARAArray Don't forget the best part -- the telescopes will be connected using single mode fibers!

CHARA has plans to add a seventh telescope to the CHARA Array to expand the available baselines to 1 km!! 🔭🔭🔭🔭🔭🔭🔭

We are searching for two people to help with this initiative - an Instrument Scientist and a Postdoc

The last few nights, we have been getting some 🔭🔭🔭 MIRC-X 🔭🔭🔭 data on the recurrent nova V3890 Sgr. We're looking forward to seeing how the observations turn out!

[Claire Davies @cldaviesastro]

Is there even any atmosphere above a telescope if seeing gets above 20 cm? Feel like I should call in to @CHARAArray to ensure the telescope operator can still breathe!

@vrooje If you're interested in high angular resolution astronomy and other results from @CHARAArray, we're holding a conf in Exeter next Spring. You can pre-register here to stay up-to-date: https://t.co/Llwh7eZyBR

@astrokiwi @Tuffers_c @vrooje We can! The challenge with Solar System objects is finding one that's both bright enough (m_H <~8) and the right size (~0.5-10 milliarcseconds)

[The CHARA Array @CHARAArray]

Thanks again to @LowellObs for being such amazing hosts!

[The CHARA Array @CHARAArray]

We ended our meeting yesterday with an excellent tour of NPOI by @FringeDoctor

[The CHARA Array @CHARAArray]

We're back from the coffee break and now @FringeDoctor is leading our discussion on the interferometry community's contributions to the Astro2020 decadal survey

[The CHARA Array @CHARAArray]

After an excellent discussion on CHARA's future, we'd like to thank our excellent hosts here at @LowellObs - @FringeDoctor and Jelena Lane

[The CHARA Array @CHARAArray]

We're starting day 3 with a discussion on the future of CHARA, but beforehand our former director Hal McAlister says hello from his happy retirement on the road

[The CHARA Array @CHARAArray]

And that's day 2. Looking forward to day 3 tomorrow!

[The CHARA Array @CHARAArray]

Starting off our final session of day 2, Katie Lester is going to be telling us about the visual orbits of spectroscopic binaries

[The CHARA Array @CHARAArray]

Michelle Creech-Eakman is wrapping up day 2 with an update on MROI at @MRObservatory
