CryoTiger

There has been a failure of the StanCam cooling system which was found to be caused by a lose of gas pressure in the system. With some help and advice from the Liverpool Telescope, who use similar cooling systems, a search discovered two leaks in the flexible hoses between the CryoTiger and the cold head. An immediate solution was to replace the hoses with the ones from the identical system used in FIES and to refill the hoses with gas given to us by the Liverpool Telescope.
