This source is hiding behind our Galaxy at a distance of ~18 Mpc, located at a galactic latitide of 0 degrees. ... As we look towards longer wavelengths, 60 micron, to try and penetrate the Galactic Plane, we still see confusion from galactic sources. ... If the image seems some what confusing that is because the MOST is a continuum radio telescope and when it looks in the direction of our Galaxy it detects radiation from sources within our Galaxy and from sources that may lie behind our Galaxy. ...

After a couple of visits by Steve Larson and Ed Beshore in late 2003 and early March 2004 to deal with various hardware issues and to install the new survey code, regular surveying commenced in mid-March 2004. ...

... From our analyses of the extant data, we report that we can find very little in the way of definitive or conclusive evidence for the fracture occurring during the darkrun. We find that there may be a suggestion that the secondary may have been stressed during the darkrun from the analysis of the focus sweep data, but it is, sadly, not the conclusive evidence that was wanted. ... If the fracture happened during the dark run, the figure of the secondary did not change appreciably. ...
