祝ファーストライト お祝いメッセージ

We were delighted to receive your email with the first light image from the Mini-TAO on Cerro Chajnantor. Please accept congratulations from all your friends at Steward Observatory on a magnificent achievement. A major question has always been the difficulty of operating at the Chajnantor site and the fact that you have achieved first light certainly provides a clear response to that question. This success should put you in an excellent position to proceed with the 6.5m TAO telescope.

Steward Observatory, University of Arizona 【米】
Congratulations on the first light image. Do you have an image of the telescope at the summit. I'd be interested in seeing it as well.

I've seen with my eyes how tough was working at that site and how commited you all were to get that result 2 days before this major achievement. That's really outstanding. My most sincere congratulations.
