I also find the O1 guider is railed toward the S while the error suggests the solar disk is to far north. By eye the solar intensity is very low, I think this may be releated to the O1 pointing. During a visual inspection of the occulter assembly, I found it it was slightly tilted in the east west direction. There were no other obvious problems. When the occulter station was re-assembled we still have a N-S problem. ___end___ Mon Nov 12 00:07:02 GMT 2012: PSPT Start Patrol Mon Nov 12 00:52:28 GMT 2012 COMP End Patrol Mon Nov 12 00:52:43 GMT 2012 CHIP End Patrol Mon Nov 12 01:03:48 GMT 2012 MKIV Start Patrol Mon Nov 12 01:09:55 GMT 2012 MKIV End Patrol MKIV COMMENT BY BEN: Mon Nov 12 01:03:25 GMT 2012 Moving the spar south by hand I start to see the intensity increase. Right now I am taking 2 images with the spar in this condition, with the dec tach on and sky trans telescope blocked. Over the course of the scan the dec has moved. during this whole period the digital signal never looked good; it was nice to see some light getting to the detector. ___end___ Mon Nov 12 01:10:59 GMT 2012 MkIV 01_03.rawmk4 17_43.rawmk4 19_07.rawmk4 01_06.rawmk4 17_46.rawmk4 19_11.rawmk4
