      We are making a new system to link 6 of our telescopes together with optical fibre. It will be like going from 2Mb broadband to 50Mb broadband, and we’ll be able to get much more data back and the telescopes will work approx 10 times as well as before. It’s tricky getting all to work properly at the same time, lots of new bits of equipment to test. (it’s called EMerlin)
