The IRAF poster shown at #ADASS2023 invites to test and give feedback, so I wrote to the author to establish a contact between NOIRLab and the IRAF community. However, no communication, no test offer so far. Working together would be essential for the future of #IRAF.

Glad to start seeing equal, if not better action in Mastodon regarding things like #Adass2023… so great!

#ADASS2023 may be over, but #IVOA2023Tucson is now beginning. This is to learn and work on details about the Virtual Observatory and how it's implemented. 🙂

Next year's ADASS meeting is announced: Malta! Here's hoping I can attend in person 😁

As part of yesterday's #ADASS2023 banquet, we got to tour SOFIA, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy. It's a plane with a telescope on it's back! #astronomy 😃✈️🔭

Busy first day at #ADASS2023 listening to the talks, Birds-of-a-Feather sessions, and catching up with colleagues. Lots of walking too and we're reminded Tucson is a desert. Always so thirsty! 😅🌵

I’m thoroughly impressed with the work at ESASky has done. Go to sky.esa.int/. Lots of smart features for getting data across multiple observatories and wavelength and built on Virtual Observatory standards. They even have an AI assistant to help you find data. At #adass2023.

Quick demo of ESASky at #ADASS2023. I was familiar with it but have missed out on some features, such as querying other data centers through TAP, which includes exploring MAST data (aka STScI CAOMTAP).

First day of #ADASS2023! Not counting some of the tutorials yesterday and the evening reception, which was fun 😉 🌵
