The detector

There is still some pick-up noise. Disconnecting the pressure sensor does not improve it. A few days was spent on swapping cables and quadrant boards, but no improvement so far. The interference pattern has stripes at a level of about 10-20 ADU peak to peak, and the pattern varies with time. Generally, for background limited broad band imaging the pattern disappears with a normal number of dithered frames used to median combine an image.
