Frame update


I just thought I'd share some updates on the construction of the frame. While some parts are being made at the machine shop, Doi-san is assembling others to the frame... Today, he is working on the vibration damping system that will hold racks for the electronics of SCExAO and HiCIAO.

About two hundred holes need to be drilled to the frame to attach this very cool contraption by Yoshi Doi-san.

By the way, Yoshi is also a talented musician who plays Hawaiian music: ukulele and slack key guitar, and makes his own music instruments. You can follow Yoshi's musical adventures on his Youtube channel.
