The focus was off last night. I’ll interrupt the queue at the beginning of tonight to re-calibrate it.

The focus has been re-encoded, and the pointing has been reset. Images should be better centered on the chip.

The focus was re-adjusted on 2012/07/06. The previous focus position was significantly different from the nominal range, possibly due to slippage in the encoders. The focus position is now in the more typical range. The telescope pointing was also re-centered.
The mirror support bags seem under-inflated. The PSF has a slight 3-point shape, but not as severe as when the bags have no pressure. Brevin should take a look when they install the UPS.
