A recently commissioned (Nov. 2012) capability at the MMT includes filtered imaging with MMTCam. A new publication by D. Milisavljevic (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) and colleagues on the slowly-evolving supernova 2012au, includes the first published results from MMTCam. Data from MMT Blue Channel Spectrograph was also included in the paper.
