Description
The NOAO celebration of 25 years of dark energy takes me right back in time to a night in early 1994 in the control room of the Mayall 4-meter Telescope on Kitt Peak, observing deep, wide fields in the I band with Marc Postman and Tod Lauer. We were combining our observing nights since my team’s deep supernova search program (the Supernova Cosmology Project), and Marc and Tod’s Deep, Wide Galaxy Survey (with Bill Oegerle and John Hoessel) both needed as much deep, wide data as we could get.
