 Description   

We are looking into the possible reasons for the larger than expected drop in observed flux on the blue detector. As one possible diagnostic, look if there is any hint of bright blue arclines being observed at double their original wavelength in red.

have selected the brightest HgCd (60 seconds exposure) available from PFI. We have to use HgCd because other lamps do not have basically any lines below 490nm, which is the upper limit for this analysis. As such I can operate only with calexp images (PIPE2D-935). I have attached two figures

1. blue_arm.png showing the spots at the blue end of blue arm. Both of these lines are quite strong (see the bar on the images).
2. red_arm.png shows the cutouts of the calexp file at the wavelengths of the spots in the blue arm multiplied by 2. I do not see any appreciable contribution to the flux from the ghosts.
