Lots of minor software gremlins. Initial look at the data shows we do not have enough range on the O1 to focus the the sun in the 530 pre-filter. We will need to review the fits files to be sure. But right now it looks like the O1 either needs to move sun ward on the instrument plate needs to go anti-sunward. The image of the sun is also not well centered on both cameras. Rcam is worse in X and Tcam is worse in Y with a little de-center in X. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jan 29 04:17:47 GMT 2021 ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jan 29 04:17:48 GMT 2021 ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jan 29 04:17:49 GMT 2021 ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey
