We also contacted the director of the Canada-France-Hawaii #Telescope #CFHT, to use the new #spectrograph there, called #SPIRou. He explained us (in short) that our observation was during dark time (near new Moon), so the telescope should be used for faint, extragalactic targets, not for #exoplanet stuff. ❌

#Halloween #Astronomy: the Ghost Nebula (IC63) viewed with #SOFIA, the #CFHT and #CARMA. Image and alt text from https://www.sofia.usra.edu/publications/science-results-archive/temperature-and-density-layers-ghost-nebula, describing the results of my former colleague Archana Soam (now at IIA Bangalore) in Soam et al. 2021. I'm currently working with Archana and others on some other observations (including the radio, which is where I come in) of the Ghost Nebula.
