JCMT staff also confirmed the basic orientation of the lambda\/4 plate &#8211; used for polarization measurements. Poor weather does mean there is still more to do, but congratulations to all involved. Staff are now looking to further testing of N\u0101makanui at the EHT test run in January and for data taking during the March\/April EHT campaign.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eaobservatory.org\/jcmt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/EHT-namakanui-fringetes-20191212-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10552 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eaobservatory.org\/jcmt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/EHT-namakanui-fringetes-20191212-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eaobservatory.org\/jcmt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/EHT-namakanui-fringetes-20191212-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.eaobservatory.org\/jcmt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/EHT-namakanui-fringetes-20191212-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.eaobservatory.org\/jcmt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/EHT-namakanui-fringetes-20191212-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.eaobservatory.org\/jcmt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/EHT-namakanui-fringetes-20191212-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eaobservatory.org\/jcmt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/EHT-namakanui-fringetes-20191212-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.eaobservatory.org\/jcmt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/EHT-namakanui-fringetes-20191212-200x150.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.eaobservatory.org\/jcmt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/EHT-namakanui-fringetes-20191212-150x113.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The JCMT had a successful fringe test yesterday with the SMA using the new instrument N\u0101makanui; on loan at JCMT from ASIAA.
