And now, we have the first calibration pictures from the telescope. Mind you, this is the first of the images: so, a composite of each of the images from all 18 different mirrors looking at the same star. No, note even focused yet, but that's what you should expect, it's part of the calibration process. The real point though, is that things are working as expected. Hooray for science!
