PIIC reduction of the 20250612s43 beam-map
SB, 2025/06/12 @18:20 LT: The beam map is scan 20250612s43. Results of a quick analysis of the beam map: the quality of the beam map (sky, telescope, focus, etc.) is unfortunately not good enough for making new (preliminary) Ar1 and Ar3 DAFs. Below you see the classic FOV beam-map figure. Ar3 is much worse than Ar1 likely because the best focus difference that affects it. Nevertheless, also Ar1 is unusable.
On the bright side: the central KID (Ar2, KC016, PIIC id 363) is definitely back! Yay!
