The low-resolution imaging spectrograph red channel CCD upgrade: fully depleted, high-resistivity CCDs for Keck
C. M. Rockosi,R. Stover,Robert I. Kibrick,Chris Lockwood,Michael Peck,David Cowley,Michael Bolte,Sean M. Adkins,Barry Alcott,Steve Allen,B. Brown,Gerald Cabak,Deich W,Hilyard D,Kassis M,Lanclos K,Lewis J,Pfister T,Phillips A,Robinson L,Saylor M,Thompson M,Ward J,Wei M,Wright C +24 more
TL;DR: A mosaic of two 2k x 4k fully depleted, high resistivity CCD detectors was installed in the red channel of the Keck-I Telescope in June, 2009 replacing a monolithic Tektronix/SITe 2k 2k CCD as discussed by the authors.

Tuning a 2.4-meter telescope... blindfolded
TL;DR: Specific topics include: measurement and alignment of linear encoder signals, and custom electronics developed to enable precise alignment of the read heads and adjustment of the interpolation electronics; the use of sensitive accelerometers to isolate and diagnose sources of vibration, and to provide immediate feedback on the stability of the servo tuning.
