### OBSDATE ### 20111111 ### LOGDATE ### 111111 ### OBSERVERS ### YK, JGR ### WEATHER ### Clear at first, cloudy towards the end. ### LOCATION ### SUSI ### PROGRAM ### Test a short baseline to see if we can get it to work. ### SIDEROSTATS ### n1 s1 s2 ### TARGETS ### HR 8728 (Fomalhaut) ### QUALITY ### Quite bad (no/almost no useful data ### PROBLEMS ### 1. Cart went far south into the South tunnel. Metrology signal was good/optimized before observation. When the cart was in the South tunnel, the *North* metrology signal prevailed instead. The cart did not response correctly to any move (fast rate) command and only went further South. Slewing at slow rate worked fine. We had to push the cart back from the South tunnel. 2. Star was acquired into the acq camera using S1. However PAVO could not lock the TT on the star. It stayed on the TT box for ~1sec but vanished suddenly and the acq system had to reacquire it again into the box. The motion of the star on the acq camera also looked jerky at times. It was doing a track spiral at those times. 3. We could not acquire any star using N1 and S2. Both are running on the new arks sidcon software.
