What deflection do we want? For Auxtel the FOV is about 6 arcmin. From center to side it's 2000*0.1 arcsec = 200 arcsec = 3.33 arcmin. So a deflection of 2 arcmin seems decent. If we're 4m away from primary, spot is displaced by only 2mm.
Problem with this config is beams are not very separated, spatially. We need a precision periscope on some to get more displacement.
Meghan Notes
Mac mini control system
- newport - start reading control manual for 2 degrees of freedom setup
- system will now have beam splitters
- do beamsplitter mapping
- look at alternatives and categorize
- clear a workspace
come up with plan and deadlines

Initial steps:
- read control manual for whichever steerable mounts we order
- read some of the papers from the slack
- make wiki organization clearer - separate page for meeting notes
- read up on kinesis software
longer term: mac mini windows equivalent
