Here is a video of the HET's PFIP being removed on 8/28/2013.
The HET team is removing the PFIP which stands for Prime Focus Instrument Package.
This Instrument Package contained the LRS instrument, our spherical aberration corrector,
our guide cameras and many other instruments which made it possible for the HET to collect data
throughout the years. This will be the last time the PFIP gets removed from HET's Tracker.
