[asac] First Astronomical Fringes from ALMA PSI

[Alwyn Wootten]

Folks,

 Darrel Emerson and Gene DuVall for the PSI team reported last night:
>> This is the semi-daily report on the PSI progress towards
>> astronomical interferometry.

>> 02-Mar-2007
>>
>> Today at 7:13pm both antennas were peaked up on Saturn
>> successfully, delays were set and fringes appeared. Saturn
>> was tracked for over one hour.

 Congratulations to them on this feat, which required vastly more than this
 simple few lines can convey.  ALMA moves into a new era now, as an
 interferometer in addition to a collection of total power telescopes.

 Clear skies,
 Al
