A Tour of the IRTF
This is a video tour of NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) on the summit of Mauna Kea. Mauna Kea is the tallest volcano on Hawaii's Big Island, and one of the best sites for astronomy in the world. We're up here to look at the photochemistry of Saturn's stratosphere, and because we're work...

Hotel Mauna Kea (parody)
Experience the plight of astronomers at the 14000-foot summit of Mauna Kea! Veteran observers John A., Juan D., Kelly F., Ted K., and Tim Livengood took the HIPWAC spectrometer to the IRTF observatory on the Big Island of Hawaii and were inspired to write the lyrics to "Hotel Mauna Kea". Here, Ju...
Getting Lucky at the Cassegrain (Focus)
It can be very difficult to assemble and tune a precision scientific instrument while oxygen-deprived and cold at the summit of a mountain. Still, sometimes, everything works out perfectly, and we get lucky at the Cassegrain focus, the spot at the back of the telescope where we install the instru...
Born to Heterodyne
The HIPWAC co-investigators were born to heterodyne, and the staff of the IRTF observatory makes it a reality! At the "Hotel Mauna Kea" on the Big Island of Hawai'i, Ted, Tim, Kelly, and Ramsey observed with the HIPWAC spectrometer, whose spectral resolving power is greater than 1000000 (trust us...

Midnight Sky
Stick with it! Timing is the essence of grad school. Tim, Kelly, Juan, John, and Ted went back out to the IRTF observatory on the Big Island of Hawai'i with the HIPWAC spectrometer. We had to get this video out before Juan leaves us to go to grad school. Enough of this now...let's get back to wor...
