✍️ Rubin #CommissioningNotes, entry 3️⃣: progress continues!
Our team had some exciting accomplishments last week with Rubin's test camera, ComCam:
🏅the best image quality measured so far
🎨 data taken of the sky in five of Rubin's six wavelength filters
Our team has increased the telescope’s speed since tests have shown good control of the systems that manage the forces felt by Rubin’s delicate primary/tertiary mirror. That means more data and more efficient testing!
