Yes it was cataloged by another telescope, but the dark matter research was done from Hawaii data. Telescopes are designed to compliment each other, which is why the TMT on Mauna Kea is important.
Surprise! People from all over the world benefit from the observatories. You should be glad that this can be done remotely so there aren't tons of cars driving up the mountain every night. It's better for the environment.
I also personally know Hawaiian grown astronomers that are using KECK data too, so you really have a moot point. Everyone benefits.
Ok, I'm done feeding the troll.
