The Mark IV is taking pictures. I came home from a dinner party to see
clear skies. So I turned everything on and it is now 2:30 AM and I am
ready to quit. Besides, I am about to be staring at the moon.
I got a rough focus on both cameras. One (I) will have to be adjusted as I
cannot quite get it to focus with my limit setting. At first the stars
looks like little birds. Gulls with their wings pointing N-S. A few
attemps at rotation of the whole mess narrowed down the spot size. Lots to
do, but mostly everything works. There are the usual funny things to be
investigated. I also need another clear night to get the focus right.
It is a good sign that the entire evening was spent taking measurements.
i.e. nothing broke! And the first night of operation too.
