The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment
Abstract
The technical features and initial results of the first observing season of the long term project called the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment are described. The ultimate aim of this project is to detect a statistically significant number of gravitational microlensing events in the direction of the Galactic Bulge. We discuss our planned future enhancements to the experiment that will allow us to achieve this goal.
