- Transfer code works. The images are written to the internal disk and then transferred to the external disk.
- Sources are consistent through 22:45 Chile time
- The camera is moving to the left with a rate of 2 pixels for 500 frames, this was 488
- Actually no turning left, the images started moving right, this is 1276
- We may see huge differential image motion. Or it may cancel out in the COM frame.
- We were taking 5 second exposures, from 11 until 322.
- Started 1, 10, 30 second exposures with 323
- Started 1, 5, 10, 30 second exposures with 326
- Frame 2110, still all sources detected.
- Time 23:33, rotating the dome and taking pictures with the best exposure. Planning to take an additional hour of data after this.
- 23:48 dome opened up more in addition to rotation.
- 23:50, tried 3072, focus gone, going to run back.
Stubbs comments-
This looks like great progress, bravo. We need to be sure the cables and other elements are not trip hazards, and so I suggest running them under the grating floor somebow. Also the camera isn't pointed quite in the direction I was expecting but I'm sure you guys have that figured out. Finally, we need to be sure we aren't obstructing the new in-dome illumination system that Patrick and Parker are installing.
Happy to arrange a time to talk over zoom tomorrow if you like.
