Globular cluster NGC5272 dithering test

Purpose: There are two different reasons for this test 1) Look for orientation issues of the IFUs 2) Determine the difference that dithering and the guider orientation have upon each other, including probe position.

Procedure:

Note position 1 has already been done. Position two is the IHMP position.

Done with position 3

Offsetting test

We have made some changes to the latency in the code involved with offsetting. Please setup on some stars and make some B->R offsets as well as some guide probe moves and fiducial moves.

Report any issues

Test sky brightness with g filter

A number of changes have been made to the sky brightness calculations.

Procedure:

  • Go on sky in an sdss field a little before center of track
  • setup all probes
  • make sure filters are set to g and clean is turned on
  • save some images through the center of the track. Report sky brightness value in night log or separate e-mail.
  • Note if the star mags make no sense then you might need another set of guide probe stars or it is to cloudy to evaluate.

Twilight i images

Take some twilight i band images with the guider with clean turned off for use as flat fields. Report images have been taken.

Gather some zero points for i images

This needs to be done when conditions are nearly photometric

Procedure:

  • Observe targets in the sdss fields and
  • look at the .cfg files for the iband magnitudes.
  • send these through the appropriate syscmd command to the guiders
  • save some images while near center of track and imaging through the i filters
  • look at the guider fits files to confirm that the i magnitudes are reported in the guide star magnitude array.

Closed dome engineering tests

Overlap with the HPF team

Please overlap with the HPF team and update the wiki with commands for taking cals.

VIRUS cals

We have a new IFU installed and would like a set of VIRUS cals to evaluate it.

Offsetting test

We have made some changes to the latency in the code involved with offsetting. Please setup on some closed dome trajectories and make some B->R offsets as well as some guide probe moves and fiducial moves.

Report any issues

ACAM insertion test

Take ACAM insertion data while on a closed dome trajectory near the beginning, middle and end of the tracks. Do this for Az 292, 180 and 68.

Then setup the ACAM to constantly image the FeAr? lamp during a Az 292 track and save images continuously. This may require:

  • deploy FCU
  • deply ACAM
  • move slider A to FeAr?
  • turn on FeAr?
  • move input light guide to slider A
  • move output light guide to blue
  • set expose time for Slider A to 4500 seconds

HPF cals

Practice taking HPF cals and take the morning set before 8 AM.

LRS2 cals
