Cameras

[Tom Droege <tdroege@veriomail.com>]

I now have 12 cameras finished with CCDs installed and all the 
changes.  Some of them even appear to work.  The 12 counts the two at 
NOFS.   I have 9 more CCDs here and 10 more on order.  I have not counted 
everything, but I think I have 25 total camera bodies that are mostly 
assembled and waiting odd parts to be complete.

I continue to run TOM with only minor problems.  The problem last night is 
that somewhere through the night, the shutters started sticking.  I have 
bought some graphite lubricant and we shall see if that does a better 
job.  Mostly the camera shutters just need a little care and adjusting, 
then I think they will work without problem.

We are finishing up MICHAEL today.  We will probably not get everything 
done today, so we will probably finish it up when Dan is back on 
Thursday.  Then Saturday we can take it out on the porch and test it with 
stars.

MIKE now has a lot of wires on it.
