Abstract
The Multi-Aperture Spectroscopic Telescope is an array of 20x60cm prime-focus telescopes with single F/3 parabolic mirrors. The telescope array is being commissioned in the Negev Desert, with 10 telescopes expected to see first light by the end of the year. In the following talk, I will present the array, its various properties, including unique fiber coupling and imaging units, and its potential as an intensity interferometry facility.
