Subject: E2E 20050607 Shift-A Science Report.

At the start of the shift today I had to analyze the pitch / yaw scan data
collected during the final hours of the evening shift. The results of
these analysis are posted on the web page, and it was found that the
initial pitch and yaw positions required a correction of (-2.90, 5.74) in
p/y respectively. Using this result, a new (0,0) position was set. 

We then moved into section 6 of the procedure, and did the fine focus scan
measurements. These consisted of 40 images taken every 10 step positions
+/- 200 steps from the best focus position estimate during shift B on
20050606. I then re-calculated the best focus position using a second
order polynomial and found the on-axis best focus to be at -515 um or -850
in focus steps. 

Much of this information is presented on the web site, including several
of the plots.
