#TGIF! And with that our busyweek has come to an end. New plans made, actions assigned, let's do this !

We're also getting closer to putting the TAIPAN instrument on the UK Schmidt Telescope. We'll start the Taipan Survey in the coming months!

Now my boss (Jon Lawrence) talking about the TAIPAN fibre positioner, 1st instrument using Starbugs. #SPIEastro

TAIPAN to do 2 spectroscopic surveys, 1e6 galaxies over 20000 deg^2, 2e6 stars (Funnel Web) & prototype for MANIFEST #SPIEastro

Three-day Taipan workshop kicks off at @AAOastro

154 #Starbug fibres installed &tested ! Hooray!

What happens if a #starbug falls off ? We have #pizza and #thickcrust to catch them #gottacatchemall
