Science. Run died when trying to calculate a PSD plot of last runs data, which hogged the CPU and seems to have timed out the connection to the instrument.

Science. Reduced exposure delay to minimum, and switched comp. star. Bias still a problem and not sure what to do, think it might be a false alarm (or true change that can be corrected with todays bias frames) so pushing on.
