    Dear HST Clusterer's,

    As you know, the primary power supply on ACS died a couple of weeks
    ago, and ACS operations have been switched to a second side of
    electronics which contains a redundant power supply. Data from
    our search was the first science data taken after the restoration of
    the ACS to service.

    With the help of David Rubin, Saul, Kyle Dawson and Tony Spadafora
    images from our program have been used for a press release
    demonstrating the return of ACS to service. You can see the Press
    Release at

    A note of thanks has already been sent to Saul by Ken Sembach, the
    head of the ACS group, for allowing the SN search images to be
    used. But I would like to further extend those thanks to the PIs of
    the various cluster programs for allowing our group's images to be
    used, and also to David, Kyle and Tony for helping us get these
    images out so quickly.

    All the best,
    Andy
