Why would you come to the Users' Meeting?
If you wonder why you should come, here are a few compelling reasons:
- Share your scientific results.
- Initiate new collaborations.
- Observing in binocular mode? Bring your ideas or your questions!
- Learn about program preparation tools: Mask design, PIT (Phase 1 Tool), OT (Observation Preparation Tool)
- Bring your data-related issues (calibration, data processing, image quality) and get answers!
- Learn more about the new instruments to come or present the science for which you would like to use them.
- Share your ideas on how to use the unique capabilities LBT is, or will be, offering.

With the LBT facility instruments commissioned in pairs, LBTI routinely used by all partners in incoherent or coherent mode, LINC-NIRVANA en route for Lean-MCAO observing, and the ultra-high resolution of the PEPSI spectrograph available, the 2nd Users’ Meeting will focus on enabling LBT to realize its full potential as both a pair of 8.4m telescopes and, thanks to its interferometric capabilities, a forerunner of the ELTs.
For current or prospective LBT users, the meeting will be an opportunity to share their scientific results, projects, and aspiration for the future of the observatory, foster boundary-crossing multi-partner collaborations, discuss new observing modes and new services with the observatory staff, and prepare for the next generation of instruments on the horizon for 2018-2019, all of which exploit the unique performance of the LBT's upgraded AO system.
