Welcome to the home page of the Australian Gemini Office

The Australian Gemini Office (AusGO) hosted by the Anglo-Australian Observatory coordinates Australian usage of large offshore facilities including the Gemini 8.1 metre telescopes in Hawaii and Chile; the Keck 10 metre and Subaru 8.2 metre telescopes in Hawaii (via a time exchange agreement with Gemini); and the Magellan 6.5 metre telescopes in Chile. AusGO consists of the Australian Gemini Scientist (Stuart Ryder), two Deputy Gemini Scientists (Simon O'Toole based at AAO and Christopher Onken based at RSAA), and three Magellan Fellows (Ricardo Covarrubias, Francesco Di Mille, and Shane Walsh, all based in Chile).
