    Abstract

    During the commissioning of the Gemini Multi-Conjugated Adaptive Optics (MCAO) System (GeMS), we had the opportunity to obtain data with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) in March and May 2012. Several globular clusters were observed that allow us to study the performance of this unexpected combination. GMOS is a visible camera, hence pushing MCAO toward the visible. We report here on the early results with the GMOS instrument, derive performance in term of full-width half-maximum (FWHM) and improvement against natural seeing, and derive a first photometric and astrometric analysis.
