It is the start of the second run of the semester. The night was focused(pun intended) on alignment and understanding how each one of the movements of the telescope, science camera, and Wave Front Sensor. And what it comes down that each one affects the other and it takes a lot of abstract scratching of head to figure out what happens when a move is done.
The Bad news this run is that the IR Wave front sensor did not make it to the mountain. But we now understand what the problem was. We have been extremely lucky that it worked at all. This is a problem that has been inherently sneaking up on us and we had never been able to figure it out. Turns out that the PCB feed through of the cryostat as it shirinks when it goes to cryo makes contact through hole mounting screws. Good news is that we have a path forward and the fix will soon be implemented.
So the hope for tomorrow night is that the wind stays slow and we get clear skies.
