-The dispersion will be high if the goffset is not set correctly. This could make it challenging to find fringes on fainter targets. If you have any trouble finding fringes, select a bright unresolved fringe finder that is expected to have strong fringes so that you can toggle the glass after fringes are found. This could be done using the IDL script pavo_ptsrc or JMMC SearchCal. Alternatively, select a star from the list of published CHARA diameters. For PAVO, go as bright as possible (V = 4th or 5th mag) and diameter < 0.4 mas for 300 m baseline, < 0.7 mas for 200 m baseline, and < 1.5 mas for 100 m baseline.
