FTS Tests and Successfully Pointing

Update 22 June 2010: I’ve added some images acquired from Juan’s camera.

Yesterday was a day for detector tests, while the cryostat is still off the gondola. Several FTS runs were made at different waveplate positions, and the XY stage was set up for beam mapping. In the evening, a small team stuck around to point the gondola while there are stars for the star cameras.

Our number decreased again; Nick took Dina to Houston. But he picked up Natalie and Jamil, who arrived this morning.
