Mira Upgrade

This week we completed an upgrade of our main Internet server, affectionately referred to as "Mira". This server hosts our web and ftp sites, in addition to serving e-mail and DNS requests. This upgrade has substantially sped up the web site. Below are the results of a quick test of the online light curve generator:

 Plot Time (secs)
 Old Hardware New Hardware
SS CYG 62 15
SS DEL 7 1
SU UMA 15 2
ETA CAR 8 2

All stars were plotted for JD 2451930 - 2452593

We have also increased the automatic update of the Quick Look file from 15 minutes to 10 minutes.

Try it out for yourself, and enjoy!
