Commissioning camera: ✅
With ComCam reinstalled, we have 2 out 3 main telescope components in place!
In just a few weeks, summit staff will install the 8.4-meter primary/tertiary mirror—and Rubin will finally have a complete telescope system for the first time!
The commissioning camera is a 144 megapixel version of Rubin's 3200-megapixel car-sized camera and is used to test and troubleshoot the telescope's systems ahead of installing the full LSST Camera.
