hi ... there is very likely a correlation between quality of the vacuum and filament lifetime. it had been recommended to us to monitor the vacuum continuously on the rigaku ru300 (?) generators we had at the time. this was fairly easy by just plugging a left over plotter from an old

Such a twinning operator can also indicate that you spacegroup has an extra symmetry operator (h,-h-k,-l) That is in fact one of the symmetry operators for P3i21 H32 P6i22 Have you solved the structure in the lower symmetry and is that missing density properly generated by this operator?
