The optics guys finished coating the last primary mirror today. Here is a photo of the second one...

...and here is a photo of the third one.

In the mean time, we finished assembling the primary mirror cells today. Here is the mirror cell from Site #3 after completion.

The other two look the same, so no photos.

We plan to work on installation of mirror doors and trusses tomorrow. We should finish these tasks in the next couple days, after which we will be ready to start installing the primary mirrors into the mirror cells. However, the local crew needs to do some work on the roads to the TAOS II sites before we can deliver the mirrors to the enclosures. Lots of rain over the past few weeks, so the road is pretty rough now and we don't want the mirrors bouncing around in the back of the truck. We should be ready for the mirrors by the time the roads are fixed and the electrical crew is finished with the grounding work, so we plan to start the installation early next week.

Meanwhile, Ian has been working on wiring up the mounts to the control electronics. So far we can move two of the three mounts by using the TCS computer, but there is quite a bit more to do there, in particular wiring up the focus housings. However, we are making steady progress.
