LBT Q Eng/SW Review HBSC Hydrostatic Bearing System Sargent/Kern

04-Apr-2008LBT Q Eng/SW Review Highlights (Q1/2008) Proximity sensors were installed on the left rear elevation pad and initial installation was made of a set of oil flow reducing capillaries. Small moves were made taking the telescope from horizon to zenith with the capillaries installed, when we attempted to move the telescope back to horizon from zenith we ran aground at 81 degrees. Ran out or Engineering time, the capillaries have been removed and installation will continue when time becomes available.
