July 25th

I called McMaster-Carr a few times and after talking to several people over at the business and at the college, we decided that we were going to keep the painted honeycomb panels. McMaster does not have any panels that do not have any finish on them so we will use what we received and hopefully they will not interfere with the IR signals. They will have to be cut and have holes drilled to match the original panels. A few more screws and washers need to be ordered to complete the assembly of the pieces of the aluminum frame that are already on campus. Joe and one other student will go down to Johns Hopkins University to obtain the rest of the telescope this Friday.
