What happens outside is often not visible to the observer until the (very expensive) data are reduced. Cloud cover and transparency variations can spoil an astronomical measurement and make optimizing telescope usage difficult. [[BR]][[BR]]An all sky camera is the solution, giving the observer information on what is happening outside, so that he or she can react to sudden changes in weather and other conditions. Patrick Fopp, David Neb, and Tom Herbst describe the MPIA All-Sky Camera, which is currently being tested on the roof of the MPIA.[[BR]][[BR]]Talk: German[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/WikiStart/2015-05-08_AllSkyCamera.pdf Slides: English][[BR]]Questions: German, English || 45 45 || 15.05.2015 || --[[BR]] || No talk (bridging day after Ascension Day) || 46 || 22.05.2015 || Torsten Boeker [[BR]](ESA, STScI Baltimore) || JWST/NIRSpec||46 || '''22.05.2015''' || '''Torsten Boeker [[BR]](ESA, STScI Baltimore)''' || '''NIRSpec and JWST - the search for the first light'''[[BR]][[BR]]NIRSpec is the Near-!InfraRed Spectrograph for the James Webb Space Telescope and allows for the simultaneous observation of up to 100 astronomical objects. Designed and realized under the leadership of Airbus Defense and Space in Ottobrunn (Germany), NIRSpec has been completed and delivered to NASA in 2013. [[BR]][[BR]]In this talk, Torsten Boeker will give an overview of NIRSpec's opto-mechanical design and the various observing modes. In addition, he will describe the integration of NIRSpec into the instrument module ISIM since 2013 and will summarize the results of all the completed test campaigns. Finally, an outlook with respect to the remaining activities before JWST's launch in fall 2018 will be given.[[BR]][[BR]]Talk: German[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/WikiStart/2015-05-22_NIRSPEC.pdf Slides: English][[BR]]Questions: German, English || 47 47 || 29.05.2015 || W.
