Its a 2MB tiff file that showed up immediately on my end. If you dont have a tiff viewer for your browser then it wont show up. Also, if you are using slow internet, it will take much longer

Hi friends

I will post an other file format. Sorry for the tif, but I would have liked to show you a good quality head page.

@Alexandra yes we need all your fingers crossed that day for a cloudless sky

Hi outreach folks

we did just a rehearsal, and everything seemes to work. The forecast is not bad at all :) . We have only to fight against high altitude fog :( . Well , hopefully the cloud biting CaK canon will go through it .

a BW disk from today, we will be very happy if we get that on friday morning (of course a little bit snapped by the moon ;) )
