Folks,<br>
<br>
As you know, ALMA recently completed its Long Baseline Campaign to
demonstrate array readiness for supporting PI science on long
baselines. Many antenna pads have not yet been occupied, as the
campaign only used a fraction of the antennas. However, this does
mark a milestone in the design of the configuration, in which we all
took part some time ago. Thanks again for your efforts! Denis
Barkats and others have assembled a movie showing the antenna
movements to the end of the campaign, ca 7 Dec. I'd like to share
this message from ALMA, and to wish you all a magnificent 2015.<br>
