SolarC Day, HiVIS Night

I picked Don up at the aiport, grabbed Meg and Nathan and we headed up in to the fog. It was a junk day, but we were doing basically lab stuff, so no big deal. We got the calibration sequence down, took some darks, flats, biases and other random test/cal data. After finishing that day, I headed over to do the night shift on HiVIS. I got the Apogee aligned with the proper optic settings (focus, cross-disperser, xy-stage and cal-stage). The rest of the time was spent mapping the focal plane. It took a while to process that first test image - the jpg down below comes from a 400MB image.... But I got a good sense of the camera. Tomorrow, hopefully we'll be on the sky with SolarC and I can get some time to do some more detector characterization.....
