Observers Cheat Sheets
We have put together a number of ‘cheat sheets’ to help visiting astronomers to the MMT with various tasks in the control room. If you encounter a task you feel needs a cheat sheet during your time at the observatory please request it in the Astronomer’s Log. There is a folder in the control room containing hard copies of all the cheat sheets.
