LT 2:15 TRIPLET S1-E1-W1 BEAM B1-B2-B3 REF CART E1 Problem with tip/tilt on E1 and W1, will not work despite laser alignment. Need to go to the lab. 3:15 Tip/tilt problem solved Niro align 3:25 Using cal HD197950 (cal for MWC361) 4:01 found E1W1 19082um could not find S1W1 fringes Summary -- Bad r0 during all the night. Cloudy night till 1am with tip/tilt dropouts every minute. 1 bracket with 3T data (S1S2W2) on MWC275. 2 brackets with 2T data (S1S2) and hopefully very faint 3T. Apparently crossed the null. Got the offsets for S1S2W2 and E1W1, useful for the coming nights.
