Observer Needs or Comments

Aaron Geller Aaron Geller will observe remotely from Northwestern. However it appears that I still need
to fill out the arrival date and shuttle information in order to submit the form (presumably
because I selected NOAO proposal rather than WIY proposal on the previous screen). So
please disregard the arrival date information and the shuttle information forms here.
