Abstract

The Gemini Telescopes Project is a collaboration to develop two leading edge 8 meter telescopes; Gemini North on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, and Gemini South at Cerro Pachon, Chile. These telescopes will exploit the excellent natural image quality that these telescopes will provide, a natural guide star (NGS) adaptive optics (AO) system is being developed for Gemini North.
