== P3.3 Pupil alignment == - **Phase** : 3 - **Status** : Draft - **Category** : Nighttime testing (functionality and operability) (C5) + Nighttime calibration (C6) - **Recurrence** : before every observing target (CI, LSS), starting from commissioning. - **Duration** : 2 hours **Description** - Alignment of the internal pupil image with apodizer (at PP1) or Lyot stop (at PP2) in the coronagraphic mode **Prerequisites** - Bad pixel map, Background or Dark, Flat-field, detector RON **Procedure** - The position of the first tip-tilt mirror (IN_TT) is optimized in order to have the first pupil image centered with the apodizer/Lyot stop. This is obtained by comparing the pupil image, formed on the SCICAM, with the image of the apodizer, received on the SCICAM using the calibration fiber as a source. **Templates** - SHARKNIR_gen_tec_PupilApoAlignment (realased) - SHARKNIR_gen_tec_PupilLyotAlignment (realased) **Success criteria** - Expected accuracy: 0.25% of pupil image diameter ~17arcsec of the TTM ~1.5pixel SCICAM ~30μm at the level of the SCICAM. **Notes** - Same as activity 8.2 in AD4 - Template: SHARKNIR_gen_tec_PupilAlignment **LBTO support** - AO support **Date performed and by whom**
