Scientific paper

In the June 1998 issue of The Messenger (No. 92) there was an article describing the hectic days and months before the first light for UT1. First light was a great public event and of great significance for the project and the organisation. From a technical point of view however, it was a non-event. The telescope had met all specifications for first light ahead of time and the weeks before the official announcement were more a sit tight, don't tell and don't break it time. Following the big event we were free again to work on the machine. For those with keen eyes looking back at the beautiful images taken for the first light, flaws could easily be found. In fact a number of messages and private comments arrived at Paranal describing in great detail what we already knew. A lot of work lay ahead of us.
