If you are not sure to whom to direct a query, send email to nssc@noao.edu, and we will direct your question to the NOAO staff member most capable of answering it.
Or, check out the Gemini Observatory's Helpdesk. Queries will be automatically directed to the appropriate person at NOAO (or in the National Project Office in your country of origin, for users in Gemini Partner countries), and you will receive notification by email when your query has been answered. If NOAO staff are unable to answer your question, it will be forwarded to higher-level experts, in some cases in other Partner countries, or on to staff at the Gemini Observatory itself.
Comments and/or suggestions, may be directed to nssc@noao.edu
