Action : It should be replaced during a SOFI oberving period. Action Log : 11/21/02 2:54:07 PM gandreon Waiting for an indium seal that will be provided by Garching. 12/19/02 4:00:26 PM gandreon To be checked with Armin. 1/30/03 2:24:41 PM gandreon The work is much more serious than thought. If it is really the metioned indium ring the entire dewar has to be dismounted and this operation has never been performed at LSO. Therefore, during next SOFI run in February PSA will perform the leak test in the lab. If the leak is confirmed, during the following, longer SOFI run in March the dewar will be refurbished with the help of an expert from Garching, already requested. 2/20/03 1:59:48 PM gandreon Form the test on the dewar off instrument it seems that the leak comes from the internal LN2 tank. In a meeting with D Baade and OHA, it has been decided that a new dewar will be assembled in Garching and sent to LSO. In the meantime a procedure has been prepared by PSI to care about sudden losses of vacuum. 2/27/03 2:03:20 PM gandreon A new dewar has been assembled in Garching and it will be exchanged during the SOFI period. 3/6/03 2:24:05 PM gandreon The assembled dewar when tested in Garching could not reach the required temperature. Exchange to be posponed. In the meantime care has to be excerted during refilling, even if no new occurrence has been reported after Peter intervention. 3/13/03 3:44:55 PM gandreon Problem has been located in the cold finger.

Action : A "baffle" adapter, consisting of a flange identical to the FEROS adpater flange, support struts and a fourth baffle sould be fabricated asap. Action Log : 12/5/02 5:50:01 PM jpritcha It was recently discovered by AGi that some of the rings were installed in the wrong order. This should also be corrected at the time the new adapter is installed. 12/17/02 5:40:03 PM rmendez According to our Conf. Control Table, "...3. (12 December 2002) The system configuration was brought to be almost the same it was before 18 September 2002. The only difference is that the 20mm spacing between the WFI and the adapter remains (that is the M1 and M2 in focus distance differs by 20mm from specs). All the MPI time starting 12 December 2002 will be observed in this "old" configuration..." Therefore, please install the new baffle system (including the dummy for the Feros baffle if Feros is not installed) at the end of the MPI time, this is **10th of January**, which is the first night of ESO time after MPI time. 12/19/02 4:04:54 PM gandreon After dismounting them, the buffers position was verified and it was found to be the correct one according to the design.

Considering that the whole DSS-1 is ~85Gb, it is now feasible to have it entirely on-line locally on one disk. The work requested can be split in several consecutive phases: - install a local copy of DSS-1 with a web-tool similar to http://archive.eso.org/dss/dss - provide a configuration to point skycat to that local server - investigate the possibility to have DSS-2 on-line locally (volume eqv to 70DVDs).
