Progress of Sorts



It is a struggle but I am slowly getting systems running.  tom1 and tom2
are running but not very well.  I have been struggling with the focus. 
Today is exercise the focus motors day.  Sigh, when I look at them they
seem to be working perfectly, yet the focus wanders about a lot.  I think
it is not thermal but real problems with the focus.  I think it is time to
put a dial indicator on the focus position and see what it really does.

I like to keep everyone informed.  Good data is coming, I just have to get
everything working smoothly.  For the engineering run I ran to see what a
bunch of data would look like.  Now I know I want what these telescopes
can produce so it is time to polish them up to be their best.
