Description
On 23 June 2025, the Rubin Observatory released its first on-sky images after several months of testing and calibration. Six-filter images in the COSMOS field have been successfully obtained and reduced through the full automated pipeline. Distortion and illumination corrections have been refined. It is now ‘all systems go’. This talk is presented on behalf of the Australian LSST collaboration and will show some of the data from the Rubin First Look and provide an up-to-date summary of the opportunities available to Australian astronomers as we move into the LSST era.
