摘要
The Canada-France-Hawai'i Telescope Adaptive Optics system has now been on the sky for two years. During that time it has been installed on the telescope 13+ times with over 100 nights of scheduled observing time. It is routinely producing red and near infrared images with 0.10 are second full-width half-max under median seeing conditions. We present the experience we have,gained using this system. We discuss installation and set up including characterization, tuning, and focusing. We consider observer training on and following use of the system. And we consider support issues.
