The performance is the best yet seen at JCMT. Temperatures were fairly low and stable, ranging between +2oC and -3oC, and the elevation range was not unusually limited to the range 30-70 degrees, but nonetheless a notable target of SUBARCSECOND rms values (per coordinate) has at last been reached. It may not always be this good in the immediate future but it's nice to see that it is possible.
