| the old acquisition problem rears its ugly head again: even though we reacquired the target cleanly (slew, reset everything *except* the p+q from the previous acquisition, i.e., GS-2006A-C-6-38, we kept the old p+q to save time in getting on the offset star). We are *certain* we cleared any previous dither offsets (from GS-2006A-C-6-39), but after adding 60 minutes of integration the spectrum was offsetted by 1.2 arcseconds, which was the last dither position from GS-2006A-C-6-39, unfortunately rendering the sequence useless. For now, if we need/decide to reacquire, we will only do complete reacquisitions (clearing everything).
