Problem:This strange smoke-like feature appeared in only one image taken immediately after the dewar was refilled. It was gone when the next image was taken just 1 minute later. The "smoke" is likely due to a very low level condensation buildup or icing on the dewar window caused simply by filling the dewar. This kind of condensation clears up quickly. |
Fix:No fix seemed to be necessary since the problem disappeared by itself. |
