November 18 & 19, 2015 Generic T&E

Plans for November 18

Daytime:

• No activities planned

Nighttime:

• ** Possible RoboAO laser testing - coordinate with 2-meter AO team.
• 1st 1/2: Testing the guiding performance of ODI. There's some elongation present along the elevation axis. The tests will be to eliminate or identify various factors: wind (if weather obliges: Wed night is forecast to be windy, Thursday calmer), ODI guiding commands and interaction with the TCS. (Harbeck, Rajagopal, Corson)
• 2nd 1/2: Either ST camera alignment or pointing model (OA)

Plans for November 19

Daytime:

• No activities planned

Nighttime:

• ** Possible RoboAO laser testing - coordinate with 2-meter AO team.
• 1st 1/2: Continue guiding tests (possibly in calmer conditions). Possibly test rotation guiding. (Harbeck and Corson)
• 2nd 1/2: Continue ST camera alignment or pointing model (OA)
• Potential ODI colllimation measurements (Harbeck)
• Potential software testing (Carole)
