So what is "Code Blue" and what does it mean? It's no great secret that several years ago we had the mirror re-coated on the 31" Blue Beast at Warren Rupp Observatory, and within a few short weeks, portions of the coating began to fail. ... These are the fellows that showed up at the Observatory on February 20th to help with the gargantuan and nail-biting task of getting mirror out of the telescope safely, out of the cell safely, into the box safely, and put into the truck safely. ...
