We observed the Southern probability maximum with BETA - the ASKAP
engineering test array. The observations cover a 7x7 degree square
centered on 13h02m00s -14d40m00s with 8 pointings, each comprising 9
beams. We observed at center frequency of 863.5 MHz with a a bandwidth
of 300 MHz. Observing began at 2015-10-22 22:35:51 UT and continued for
10 hrs. Due to the proximity of the Sun, we expect worse than normal
imaging fidelity.
Analysis of these data are ongoing.
