9/28/2022 In a discussion with GMTO today, Laird suggested that we might use compressed air to clean contamination off of M3. Breann said that she was planning to clean all upward-facing optics at least every 2 weeks and before every L-band and M-band observing night to reduce thermal emission. We might be able to piggy-back on that to have them clean our M3.
