Paula Szkody observed with DIS for UW01. I saw a little image motion at 18:02 MST, in the azimuth direction, with an amplitude of about 2". The telescope was pointing at 210 azimuth, and the wind was coming from 270 azimuth at 10 mph. The elevation of the telescope was 55 degrees. This evening, we started getting this error message again: Modu="mir_o_MoveOneGalil"; Text="Tert returned an error message" Received="?GOCORR one or more axes did not end on a full step 0, 1, 0, 0, 0" 2nd-half observing specialist: deglman NM09 was performed with SPIcam. Elongated stars were again seen in images.* This probably due to tracking error and no autoguiding being employed? Flat fielding was done for NM09. Telescope was closed at 06:50.
