The Magellan Telescopes: A Performance Update
The Magellan Baade and Clay telescopes regularly produce images of ~0.5" in natural seeing. We review efforts to improve collimation, active optics response, and telescope guiding and pointing to optimize the performance of the telescopes. Procedures have been developed to monitor and analyze i...
