The ASKAP commissioning team has successfully produced the first continuum image using six ASKAP antennas at the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory (MRO) in Western Australia.
The six antennas were operated simultaneously as two separate 3-antenna arrays, with each sub-array producing a separate image. This is a milestone in itself and the best results produced to date using ASKAP antennas installed with phased array feed (PAF) receivers.
