| PALM-3000 is a high-precision upgrade to the successful Palomar Adaptive Optics System on the 5.1 meter Hale Telescope. It will use the world's highest actuator count deformable mirror (3388 active actuators), an innovative wavefront processing computer based on a cluster of off-the-shelf graphics cards, and a flexible wavefront sensor with 8x8 to 64x64 samples across the pupil. First light is planned for February 2011. The PALM-3000 project is a partnership between Caltech, the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the American Museum of Natural History, and is partially funded by the National Science Foundation and by Ron and Glo Helin.
