Abstract
The breadboard prototype of the PSPT (Precision Solar Photometric Tele scope), built by NSO at Sacramento Peak, has been operating in Rome si nce February 1996 to test observing procedures and future network oper ations. In this paper we briefly describe the kind of preliminary data we are deriving from the first observations concerning the contrast h istogram and the fractal analysis of the 'network cells.'
