AO-40 Update

If you have been following the ALON/ALAT, you ll already know that we have been nearly stuck in place for two weeks.

The perigee eclipses have made advancing ALON a very slow process. We are making small net gains and the conditions will improve in the next few weeks.

We are currently at ALON/ALAT 345/0 and we should be closer to 0/0 by next week.

The passband has been lengthened to MA 180, and will be extended further when we reach ALON = 350.
