With the telescope construction complete, and a very functional observing site surrounding it, the main areas of focus are visual wavelengths, and, infrared and radio wavelengths, with emphasis on Time-Domain as it's the emerging field of astronomical research. As was clear from the 2010 US Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey, Time-Domain Astronomy (TDA) has emerged as a key field of current astronomy and astrophysics.
