22:00 we try to check the LAN optics quality looking at a NGS on a GE1350 camera installed in the LAS box. After focussing we have a 2.5" astigmatic spot when the natural seeing is about 0.8".

22:30 the camera is removed, we are back to Zenith, a double window is installed in the laser tube to compesate for the astigmatism

TN Notes
20140518_060354 LGS on PatCams, spot sigma is about 10px
There are many clouds...

AdSec problems we remove actuator 373.

00:25 laser propagation, 2 cloud layers:

01:06 we try a closed loop on ARGOS yellow pupil, running at 200Hz, jitter loop closed, 2us of opening time.

We have a problem with M1 offloading, it moves out the LGS from the sensor FoV.

Clouds are increasing, we try to run at 100Hz.

We move the LAN focus at -110k, we close jitter and pupil loops:

we scan the ToF, 85us minimizes the slopes rms...

we try again with 20 modes:

We try to put the Red LGS into the Yellow one. It is a mess! We go back to Yellow in Yellow...
