Summary
----------------------------------------------------------------------


used BCAM to take some time-lapse data of out-of-focus images to watch the evolution of the mirror alignment over time. the stars used for this came up at the very edge of the BCAM field when slewed to so there's something screwy with the pointing. will need to follow up on that.

made movies out of the time-lapse data and wrote up a blog post on them at http://saltastro.blogspot.com/2011/01/salt-pupil-time-lapse.html.

got closed by humidity right after midnight and ridge cloud by 3 AM.
