Basic information to know...
You should FTP your science images off from APO computers within 7 days after they are taken, otherwise they will be deleted. We DO NOT back up data locally here.
CorMass is operated by with it's own computer in the 3.5m Control room. It currently does NOT have the ability to be operated remotely, therefore you either need to come to the site to do your observations or arrange with the observing specialist(s), scheduled for your night, to do the observations for you.
