Hardware update. There have been a leak of the cooling liquid inside of the instrument. A pound of water has been discovered under the instrument on Sunday. Jamie and Nick are looking into the extent of the damage.
Future improvements. Changing the lenslets for new ones having the coating in the correct side. Given that Nick Konidaris could be consulted and create a documentation on the alignment procedure, it would be a good occasion to establish what are the steps. Don is in touch with Nick for exploring new ways to increase the throughput in the blue.
Ned to agree on a times slot to transport the SEDM to campus and back. Need to coordinate with the gaps in the ZTF schedule.
The box for transporting SEDM is on P60 dome. Are there trucks large enough to transport the SEDM?
Given the instrument change, on Wednesday during the iPTF meeting we need to ask the collaboration to provide a list of reference images.
Database Updates. Karl is working on implementing a DB interface to log every request and every exposure.
Acquisition objects. We may remove taking acquisition images of objects which are SSO/variable stars of simply very bright. The ~1 min acquisition image may be a hug overhead for bright objects.
For ZTF, we need to create a completely automatic extraction, as we won't wait for scanners to finish their requests.
Guider program can not take more than 30 exposures before failing. This is an issue that shall be investigated. The code that has the problem is a VBasic code and lines in Nemea. Pylos has the same code. Don could revise the code to see if there is a memory leak. Currently, there is no way to restart only one camera, but not the other. We will need a 32 bit machine (ask Patrick?) that we could use to test this system. Whenever the instrument is brought to campus, would be good to have the tests.
