 Description   

Recent bias exposures taken from SuNSS show lines that appear for all fibers. See for example

This may be due to incorrect wiping of the CCDs, eg by not running the parallel clocks. The actual source of these lines may be work/room lamps being left on during data acquisition.

Find the cause for the lines and fix.

Ummh, that's a 10s exposure, so it's not mysterious that there should be spectral features from Hg lamps in the dome.  The weird thing is the r-band biases such as 45775 which also show what look like lines, despite the fact that there should be no time when we're not running the parallels.

Yes, indeed sorry - here is the visit=45775 r-band image :

These are real Hg lines. There are c. 3s of "staring" time during the readout (cf. PIPE2D-743), and that's enough to pick up lines from the dome lights.
