Adaptive Optics is a technique to compensate quickly varying optical aberrations in an #optical system 🔭. A limitation is that the correction is only valid in a very small patch of sky 🌌. Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics, or #MCAO uses several guide stars ✨ to measure the light wave aberrations in several directions. The corrected field of view is enlarged by a factor of 10 to 20 to obtain the most uniform output image quality https://mavis-ao.org/mavis/

#MAVIS corrects distortions caused by the Earth's atmosphere. Components:

• Adaptive Optics System
corrects distortions using mirrors that can change shape in real time to compensate for atmospheric blurring

• Imaging Camera
captures high-resolution images of celestial objects with sensors to record light from stars, galaxies

• Spectrograph
splits light into its component colors (spectrum) to reveal temperature, distance, chemical makeup

Warmed up recently by coloring these two drawings of MerMavis ♥

A digital drawing of Mavis DeLuna as a mermaid in feminine form. She has a long and thick mermaid tail with large, billowing fins that form the shape of a crescent. She's bent over with her hands on her tail, similar to how a human would have their hands on their knees. She has a playful smile on her face while she wears a thin swim top. Her hair is decorated with pearls, and she has pearl strings around her neck and across her hip. The drawing is in color; her hair is crimson with a white stripe on the right side (our left), and her tail is a sparkling warm lavender color. Her skin is a light olive shade with golden undertones and freckles.

Heel veel hartjes voor Mavis. 💞 ❣️

Finished that chibi of Mavis! I tried out some new brushes and really loved them, they felt like butter. I feel comfortable doing bold lineart again and was able to color this one pretty fast 💖

A digital drawing of Mavis DeLuna (feminine) in chibi form. She's standing cutely with her arms spread apart and one leg slightly bent. She's looking slightly down at the viewer with an open-mouthed smile.

A sketch of Mavis DeLuna in muted pastel purple. She's holding a wine glass while facing the viewer directly and looking slightly downward at them. Her lips are parted and she has a blank/hollow expression. Her lips are in a deep cool red.

A shorter thing I've made:

Dark Techno with lots of distortion and rumble. One commenter said "this is how I feel about the world today" ... well yeah, sometimes. Maybe that's why.

Gonna make a second longer jam. Same setup, add DFAM and Labyrinth.

Amongst the many projects supported by AAL is the MAVIS instrument, as explained in this recent blog post: https://astronomyaustralia.org.au/blog/news/mavis-a-bold-leap-in-australian-led-astronomy-and-adaptive-optics/

That's me on the left in the photo in the post.

It's time to plan my travel to lovely* Garching bei München for the MAVIS Final Design Review meetings next month.

I am a *big* fan of these Emirates/Qantas flights from Sydney to Munich that arrive in the evening. When you get off the plane you can go directly from the airport to your hotel, check in immediately, and fall straight into bed. This is so, so much better than almost all other flights from Australia to Europe which arrive early in the morning so you can't even check into your hotel until many hours later, and you're struggling to stay awake until evening in an attempt to avoid making your jetlag worse.

OK, you do have to get up at stupid o'clock in the morning to get the 6 am flight out of Sydney, but it's definitely worth it. I got these flights last time I travelled to @esoastronomy HQ for the MAVIS Preliminary Design Review and the evening arrival made for a really quick recovery from the journey with minimal jetlag.

#MAVIS #MAVISFDR

Screenshot from a Webjet flight search results page, showing flights from Sydney to Munich via Dubai. The outbound flights leave Sydney at 6 am and arrive in Munich at 8:40 pm the same day.

In the end we submitted a total of 5625 pages of MAVIS Final Design Review documentation spread across 172 documents. Now we wait for the Jira tickets to start coming in...

#MAVIS #MAVISFDR #Astrodon

We're now up to 5149 pages of MAVIS instrument Final Design Review documentation, and there are still a few documents to go. In total we'll be sending 163 documents to @esoastronomy for review. MAVIS is a complex thing, as the latest CAD renders make evident, so a complete description requires a lot of documents.

Actually this may be my favourite photo of the @esoastronomy VLT lasers. It's not the most spectacular shot of the laser, the telescope, or the night sky, but it's special because it has *me* in it (far left), along with my MAVIS project colleagues.

Photograph of a Very Large Telescope with a yellow laser shooting up into the night sky from it. In the foreground are a ground of 14 people lined up in two rows.

@esoastronomy's 2024 Annual Report is now out. Nice to see not just one but three projects with AAO involvement mentioned, 4MOST, MAVIS & BlueMUSE. There's a few gorgeous photos in there too.
