Observing system

The observing system interface has been improved be removing and resizing some windows so they can be better distributed and do not overlap. With the introduction of a dedicated computer that runs the InfoSys showing system information and data logging these windows were also removed from the observing system and further improvements can be made.

The scripts to take well exposure wavelength and flat field exposures have been upgrade to allow for multiple exposures to be requested at the same time.

We have discussed the possibility of implemented an on-fiber guiding facility. Specifically, the system used by Mercator was mentioned. It was agree that the software used by Mercator should be checked to see how much work it would be to implement this software for FIES at the NOT.
