Abstract

On-sky testing is a key step in taking an instrumentation concept from the laboratory to deployment within a facility-class instrument. Access to dedicated test facilities can help reduce the cost and time associated with this process, particularly concepts that rely on the use of Adaptive Optics. The H2020 OPTICON-RadioNet Pilot (ORP) program is funding access time specifically for testing new visitor instrument concepts using the facilities developed for CANARY and LGS AO experiments. Here we provide further details of the facilities and support that is being offered and give details of the call for proposals for visiting experiments for 2023.
