Next-gen telescope to use new calibration techniques to extend science reach

Editor's note: The story previously published here under the headline "Next-gen dark energy telescope might deliver images in real time" has been removed. Following publication, other members, including the leadership, of the LSST collaboration informed us that the descriptions by a quoted LSST collaborator did not accurately reflect the project. As such, the main thrust and headline of the article are no longer supportable. There is some very interesting work taking place on LSST regarding new techniques for calibration of data to maximize the science reach of the survey, and we plan to cover that work in the future.
