We managed to close because no any useful signal is being collected. 04:45Z sky is still cloudy. Kyle called and asked about a 10-min test. We can do it waiting for the clear sky: 1. move pistons by 20,000 counts in the direction that allows the largest range of motion 2. sop hartmann 3. run_collimate and perform adjustments to collimator pistons as suggested 4. sop hartmann 5. perform adjustments if needed - hopefully the routine has converged on the best focus 6. move pistons by 5000 counts in the opposite direction to #1 7. sop hartmann 8. run_collimate and perform adjustments to collimator pistons as suggested 9. sop hartmann --- Test. before this test, we adjust focus for the best collimation: ==>
