11/1/26: Shortly after resolving the PFU SX vignetting issue, it was noticed that the beamsplitter carousel was having difficulty moving.  After further troubleshooting, the beamsplitter is stuck at an intermediary position, approximately 30 degrees from BS1.  Since no light can get to any part of the rest of the instrument, PFU SX is offline until a resolution is found.
