The fringes came and went in 1 refresh unit of the waterfall plot. - We switched back to N1S1 after 100s of integration with N3S3 to reassess the sky condition. The sky condition remained unchanged. - PAVO settings: (a) "dtime 0.75" (b) "setas 1 0 0" - The difference between N1S1 and N3S3 are: (a) OPD rate of opcon, ~100um/s and ~500um/s (b) Baseline, 5m and 15m (c) Theoretical fringe visibility of source seen with the baselines, 1 and ~0.7-0.9 (diam~1mas). (d) Average S/N recorded by PAVO, >10 and ~2-3 (d) Pupil alignment (using internal auto-collimation source) between N3 and N1 (or S3 and S1) as seen with MUSCA camera, is <10um apart.
