Re: urgent observation request for TYC1799 1159 1

Ulrich,

Not sure TheSkyX would recognise TYC are there any other identifiers ?

Robin,

The spectrum is in the same Y position on the sensor for all observations.

Its on all the sub exposures.

I did not take a reference star spectrum.

JLB,

As you have not detected it in your observations, I don't think its real, an artifact of the set up.

Re: LHires III shifts with long exposures - how to handle?

Peter, My Lhires suffers from the same problem, you are not alone. So, I use SPOX, and do not touch the Lhires at all. Sometimes I see a wavelength calibration shift, sometimes I don't. It seems works to some degree. For us, everything in Spectroscopy is a compromise, do you want to get acceptable s...
