Progress

We are having problems with the Declination drive of ARNE.  It is just not 
very good, and I don't see any way to improve it without a major redesign 
of the whole mount.  Sigh!  We shall see if it is good enough for a 
survey.  I think we can get it to where it will point to within 1/2 degree, 
but not much better.

Meanwhile I have TOM pointed where I can point it and am taking data.  I 
will soon have stacks of disks for any of you that want to try to analyze 
data.  I now have the pointing calibrated, so RawToFits comes out with 
headers that are good to 1/2 degree or so.  Should be good enough to 
identify stars.
