The week of Sept 9.

We are ahead of schedule for the Wide Field Upgrade!

This week at the HET the team will be adding some temporary platforms to the upper and lower hex beams. These will be left in place during the upgrade to allow people to work at these locations with out the man-lift being used (although they better not drink to much coffee!). This will take the first few days of the week. After that we will be moving the tracker to the center location and shutting down all power to the tracker. That will be the last powered move that this tracker will make. Once powered down we will begin de-cabling the motors, draining the glycol lines etc…
