ComCam is back on Rubin Observatory Simonyi telescope. Initial (engineering) on-sky observations are scheduled for July 2024. Though covering <5% of the area of the main camera, ComCam is still sizable: approximately 40' x 40' field of view spread over 9 CCDs and 144 megapixels.

A heartfelt thanks to Google Cloud for providing the compute resources for the Asteroid Institute to discover 10s of thousands of asteroids. More to come on that soon, but we've found a lot of very interesting new objects in our Solar System!
