Plan (part 1)

  • Install optics in the 5 remaining Telescope WFS
  • Align Tel WFS in Tel S1



2015 Dec 6 (sunday)

  • Mike and Theo arrived. will have group meeting later today to plan next few days.
  • installed ANDOR software SOLIS on the UM laptop (ASUS)
  • located all optics
  • plan to setup test rig for aligning the lens tube telecentric re-imager


9:30pm.

We are going on sky.

  • Discovery 1. M10 alignment shows some vignetting.
    • Chris using combination of periscope + M10 to try to fix. But didn't work
    • The whole gang (mike, theo, chris) going to lab to figure this darn thing out and get rid of the vignetting. We don't want to start our engineering with a compromised beam!
  • rest of night was taken trying to check S2 beam train and getting a great starting alignment. but lots of problems.
