PSPT News (1Mar94) (from NSO, NOAO Newsletter No. 37, 1 March 1994) The Precision Solar Photometric Telescope (PSPT) project has completed a series of seeing/scintillation experiments, designed to determine if high photometric precision and good, full-disk spatial resolution can be obtained using a scintillation monitor. The results look good (a preprint is available from R. Coulter or J. Kuhn). Most of the current effort is now going into making a 10-Mpixel/s Thomson 1K x 1K CCD camera work with our DSP system. The first RISE/PSPT Newsletter describes our activities to date in greater detail, and was recently distributed. It is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.sunspot.noao.edu in the directory /pub/rise, or by contacting Roy Coulter (roy@sunspot.noao.edu) or Jeff Kuhn (jkuhn@rise.sunspot.noao.edu).
