UT2011May20
UT2011May21
Beams 6 (W2) - 1 (W1)
Observed HD 192985.
image on L1 (both B1, b6) was bad. 40-50% of the flux.
UT2011May22
CHAMP B3(W1)-B4(W2)
Observers: JDM, FB, CF.
Goals:
- Observe targets under varying SNR conditions to test cophasing and gdt.
- Test the 3 readout modes (Fast, Normal (12Hz Dither, 120Hz Fringes), Slow (6Hz Dither/60Hz fringes)
- First YSO observations for CHAMP !!!!
2:47am Aligning on HD 197950 (K=5.1), cal for MWC 361 (HD 200775)
B3 W1 B4 W2
Using Normal mode (500Hz) B3 L3: max 15 cts. Image quality ok, maybe out of focus B3 R4: max 20 cts. Image quality ok, maybe out of focus B4 L4: max 3 cts. VERY VERY FAINT. B4 R4: max 5 counts. also very faint.
3-3:45am Re-aligned CHAMP table using red laser. There seemed to be some issues and it will be interesting to see if we improve the throughput.
B3 L3: 10-15cts. [same as earlier] B3 R4: 20-30cts. [ maybe slightly better] B4 L4: 15-20cts. [much better] B4 R4: 20 cts.
Total cts. ~40 on each L4, R4.
Searching for fringes. B34 offsets 0->6mm Seeing: W1 9cm/W2 3cm
