. The ``uv-plane'' is the surface of our synthesised large telescope. The 375-m configurations provides very short baselines (central tracks). The long baselines with antenna 6 cannot be used for imaging, because it is not possible to synthesise such a huge telescope without having information in the empty areas. | |  |
