== P2.7 Checking pointing offset between SHARK-NIR and SOUL-AO== • **Phase** : 2 • **Status** : Draft • **Category** : Daytime testing (functionality and operability) (C2) • **Recurrence** : once at commissioning • **Duration** : 3 days **Description** • Test to check if there is a considerable pointing offset between the SHARK-NIR (SCICAM/TECCAM) and SOUL-AO as a function of the elevation of the telescope **Prerequisites** • If relevant, estimate and remove the NCPA using the phase-diversity method. • RR mounted on SX side. **Procedure** • Need to define the procedure? **Success criteria** • Estimate the pointing offset and conclude if it is acceptable or not. If not acceptable, take proper actions to overcome this issue. **Notes** **LBTO support** * Authorize SHARK-NIR on the SX side. * RR mounted on the SX side. * Support from LBT SW Team, LBTI/Arcetri team to run SOUL AO **Associated SHARK-NIR personnel** **Date performed and by whom** **Comments** MB: Given the adjustment of SOULD LBT wrt to elevation should already have been done previsouly, I'd say it would be best to have also a look up table at least for TT where dichroic and in-TT are adjusted to compensate flexures [okay. in that case, we may need more time. lets discuss.] LM: this topic needs discussion, but in principle, this can be done together with the NCPA tests (2.6). Basically, when changing the elevation of the telescope, re-acquire the on-axis source with SOUL and record how much the Pyramid WFS moved from one elevation to another one in order to re-center it on the source (maybe this already exists). After SOUL acquired the on-axis source, look for it on the TECCAM and use our internal mirrors (IN-TT and DM) to re-center the PSF and pupil on the hot pixels. If big adjustments of our mirror positions are required, we can build the look-up table (--> define "big"). Flexures of the RR or ARGOS source affect the result.
