Side Scoop, Helium, Star Camera

Update 22 June 2010: I’ve added some images acquired from Juan’s camera.

Yesterday Juan fully assembled his amazing side scoop. It couldn’t be mounted yet because he wanted to mark all the parts so that people other than him would be able to assemble it. The cryostat team started the many hours and several liquid helium fills it takes to get the cryostat fully cold. Matt, Tristan, and I stayed late for a final fill and to ensure everything was happy. And in the middle of the day there were some (mis-) adventures regarding star camera mounting.
