After applying this factor to the displayed quadcell voltages the guider appears to goto zero and work in a perdictable way when the gdr offset is applyied. For today I will try running with a RA GDR offset of .01 and dec offset of .005 ___end___ Wed Oct 16 17:46:11 GMT 2013 COMP Start Patrol Wed Oct 16 17:52:27 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Oct 16 18:19:42 GMT 2013 KCOR End Patrol Wed Oct 16 18:19:48 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Calibration script: C:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg.ini Wed Oct 16 18:35:44 GMT 2013 KCOR End Calibration Script Wed Oct 16 18:36:08 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Oct 16 18:54:22 GMT 2013 For somereason the SGSRAZR and SGSDECZR keywords are not getting into the fits header.
