Detector

The performance of the detector seems to have deteriorated further over the last few months, though that might partly be due to the detector heating-up to -80$^{\circ}$C during the time we had no access to the telescope due to the weather. We will investigate this further after the current observing run.

Further improvements such that an `ABORT' command can be implemented in the BIAS detector control program and to increase the readout speed will have to wait until the new controller for the detector array is available.
