CFHT is glad to announce that ESPaDOnS has received the final approval for acceptance and
shipping to Hawaii. ESPaDOnS in now en route to Hawaii.
After re-assembly, alignment, and daytime tests, ESPaDOnS will go on the sky for engineering (see
the Observing Schedule for 2004B for the detailed schedule). CFHT will provide the Graphical User
Interface. Most of the work at the telescope will probably involve integration with the Telescope
Control System and using the Guider with real stars.
