Tested filters this morning:  Andover, SFI, and Spectra Optics 6563.
Used Day Star filter tuned to H-alpha (close) plus each of these pre-filters.
Looked at each filter normal to the beam and tilted by small amounts.
Both the Andover and SFI filters produced images which were darker when
tilted compared to normal.  The conclusion is their bandpasses were moving
away from the DayStar.
The Spectra Optics #3 filter was dim when normal to the beam.  The intensity
increased, then decreased again with increasing tilt.  The conclusion is that
this filter works well when slightly tilted (like the 5 degrees of those
in the filter wheel).
	The Andover filter was located at the H-alpha position of the filter
wheel before 2/16/94.  We replaced it with the SFI (the one removed earlier
this year).  The Spectra Optics filter was in the wheel on 2/16 next to the
H-alpha slot.  On 2/16 it was discovered that the blocked positions were one
position different from what was expected.  Perhaps the definition of 
the positions was changed by one at some time in the past?
	Now, the Spectra Optics #3 is in the H-alpha slot, encoder position
6.  The taped position is now clear.
	We learned that the DayStar filter can produce very clean H-alpha
without any vignetting when it is centered on the beam and (nearly) normal.
We got some good images with the Halle in the afternoon when it was warm, 
but not in the morning when cool.  Also, the Halle was always vignetted on
the 'right'.
	Since the Halle has a small aperture, we were never able to get
an unvignetted image, and has temperature drifts, we are going to use the
DayStar.  We will also use the S.O.#3 H-alpha pre-filter.
	In re-assembling the filter wheel, the position of the encoders was
critical.  By using repeadeed Qpeek 0xe01c commands (in a while loop) it
was possible to see when bits were set..  By luck we were able to drive to
a position and have the wheel stop.  It was learned that the HEI pickups
need to have the encoder wheel as close to the emitter side (outside) as
possible.  Also, the HEI mounts were tilted sideways in their slides.
