Science verification of DEIMOS polo migration to Linux and rotator controller upgrade. Test GUIs and operation scripts on sky with a DEIMOS observer.

DEIMOS

Two 0.5 nights separated by two weeks.

C. Alvarez.

S. Kwok, K. Lanclos and W. Deich (UCSC) on call.

Solid on-sky time with TRICK NGS and LGS, smooth out all TRICK’s edges. Observe a wide range of targets, e.g. point sources, faint extended sources, nonsidereal targets, etc.

PyWFS and SH switch back and forth on sky

NIRC2

NGS-AO performances and stability using 1.0 plate scale for KI and KII

OSIRIS NIRC2

NIRES engineering:
daytime:

1. slit-viewing camera guiding work 24 hours (need cold NIRES, no tel access)

2. spectral flexure 8 hours (full tel access)

night time:

1. optical guider flexure 2 hours

2. throughput measurements 0.5 hours

3. slit-viewing guiding 2 hours
   

NIRES

5 hours
