2007-2008 RATS
This Year in Rats!!!!
The improved telescope.
This year has been a very productive year for the
RATs. We made many improvements to the telescope. the most noticeable
one is the new "hot dogs and buns" counterweight system, this allows the
telescope to move easily in all directions. More improvements were
made inside of the coffin. We have all the motors and equipment up and
running! The only thing that we have to do now is to get the two
computers in the coffin to control each other. For more information see
GPT technical overview.
