Summary
First half of the night Michele, Michelle and John tested nonsiderial functions
Second half, we:
- Collected a set of transformation data in OK seeing 0.8 to 0.9"
- Collected more Astig LUT data
- Redetermined the center of rotation on the IRTC
Details
New LUT, GCS/COW Collimation
07:14 preset AO1003, el 75, 5 iter
07:18 preset AO433, el 43, 4 iter
07:21 preset AO504, el 65, 3 iter
07:24 preset AO416, el 29, 6 iter
Seeing is <1.0" so off to transform
Seeing 0.7" FWHM on guider, 0.9" on Dim
07:43 transform_collect, EXP=0.5
08:45 preset cancelled because the shell ripped (anemometer expired!!)
- doug had to cycle power on adsec
09:21 recovered the error with the secondary - now the shell is set
- transform_collect, exp=0.5, START=29
09:36 Done with transform_collect,
09:39 preset AO1027, el 75, ? iter
09:43 preset AO701 -> the collimate_auto routine needs to be corrected
- while fixing the routine, we go on with the secon
