Two days ago we began pulling mirrors off of Telescope 2 so that they could be replaced and recoated. It's a lengthy process where two people go up with boom lifts, take off a few mirrors at a time, and then bring them back down to the people waiting on the ground who package them up and then wait for the next batch. The pictures below are somewhat self explanatory.

Yesterday we put the mirrors back on ( a horrible job consisting entirely of 'hurry up and wait'). It's been really hot here, 35C and higher, so I'm pretty toasted right now, even by local standards.
