> Workload (hrs.) : 8
> Detailed Description :
> Tonight problems wiith ID starting in two KIDS OB and then switching to a concatenation keep showing strong image degradation. Observing at 68 degs in alt and 52 degs in az. images on RTD seems good with FWHM 3.5:3.6 at the center but being degradated toward the edges Defocus and coma valued as good as 100 and 230 respectively and OB resulted classified D in IQ script. I aborted and repeated but results weere the same, Condition are perfectly good, seeing less than 1 low wind (5m/s)
> There is another ticket that is on hold reporting the same in March. The PPRS is 44520 and is critical
> Could it be related with M2 tilt or maybe the software update in progress is affecting the observation?
> People from software team working in the 2010 update says that work is not affecting.
> Also I. Kastinen was analysing the problem without finding more lights.
> PPRS 046764 from yesterday is reporting problems with strong ellipticity
>
> As OB remains resulting with strong image dagradation I decidec to give a C and continue with different observation.
> Thanks

> Hi: Continuing during the night with serious problem concernig image degradation and ellipticity, so I have to add 02:48 to the lost time for this ticket. No matter how many image analysis are done and with good values in defocus and coma always system complain for guide stars and image analysis results and it must be changed many time during observation. Guiding is lost at the end of each template. IA stars selected are out of reference area so appears with star ID unknown and magnitude 99.99

> Conclusions
> * after the Init of M2, the pomoffset remains similars, then it seems is not a problem of init M2.
> * the NL of VST show that most of the OB were clasified B and also A. ... means the IQ in general improved.
> * no clue of the root cause of this problem, since 2 shift ago Delta/Epsilon were also adjusted by TSz.

> Here some older information from Riacrdo Parra about checking the M1 positions (in a similar case of tilt/astigmatism gradients):
>
> VST M1 main mirror fixed points positions
> 1: 250
> 2: 800
> 3: 775
> The fundamental thing is that when you move the fixed points to these positions, when later you apply the right forces to the mirror, these values change. But you want the values are these ones after the application of forces. Therefore you have to correct 3-4 times the fixed point positions and then apply the forces (with ONECAL), more or less at zenith, to iteratively go very close to the positions that you want.

> Please check image quality in one of the R,I or z filters (which have the most curved focal plane in OMEGACAM) when the seeing is significantly below 1 arcsecs and ask to run psf-anisotropy OMEGACAM??????.fits on wocoff for the best image(s).
