THE GPT LIVES!!!!

Well after a very long year of work on the motors and waiting for parts, we actually got everything working the way it should!!!!! We got everything up in to coffin 3 weeks after NRAO and it all works!!! as of now we can control the motors from the control room along with the NEW thats right NEW back end that is now all computer controlled. over the long weekend we for the first time let the telescop point at the sun's transit for the entier weeked without securing it....hope that was a good dicision. we also have been doing some week long scans for the past 2 weeks, now that produced alot of data files, but thanks to ulmer we now have a simple program to combine all the files. other than that we will have to take some of the stuff out of the coffin because unfortunatly this thursday is our last meeting. thats all for now!
