Still waiting for you to identify the source of "infrared noise" at Mauna Kea's peak. You weren't resorting to outright lying by any chance? Please reassure everyone that isn't the case.

You know, at first, I thought, cool, an astronomer that lives in Puna. Now, you come across as an a-hole, and a strangely ignorant one at that, only questions and personal below the belt mindset. It's weird, you don't know basic facts, demand I provide the proof, then go on to further insulting before demanding something else. You seem to be completely out of it as far as what is going on with the other observatories.

The infrared noise at the summit of Mauna Kea is the sun heating the rocks during the day, doh! As for the upgrades, they are related to that.

At less-advanced stages are
projects to upgrade the detectors in two of the infrared instruments (UCLA IR Lab)
