Update, February 26, 2007: With Observations in Full Swing, Team Prepares to
Remove "Sunglasses" from Telescope
by Amir Alexander
Winter time is observing time at the Oak Ridge Observatory in Massachusetts,
when humidity is low and the sky is often clear. And so it has been for the
Optical SETI telescope, which opened its doors in April 2006. This is the
first winter of observations for the telescope, and Paul Horowitz and his
team have been very busy. After a period spent testing and bringing its
systems to working order, the telescope began scanning the skies more
regularly last fall. Taking advantage of every clear night, the Optical SETI
telescope has now covered nearly half of the northern skies in its search
for that telltale flash of light from the stars.
