Gattini-IR is a survey telescope that observes in the near- infrared and started operation at the Palomar Observatory in late 2018. [1]
It is planned to survey the entire accessible sky every night. [2] It has a 2048x2048 sensor, and will observe in the J band (1.25um) infrared. [2] Each nights images will be sensitive down to magnitude (MAB) 16.4, and by stacking a weeks images should be sensitive to MAB 17.5. [2]
