PSPT COMMENT: Thu Jun 4 17:12:12 GMT 1998 Will wait for clouds to clear before starting this. Haosheng also wants me to check some filters and will call me this morning. PSPT COMMENT: Thu Jun 4 17:39:50 GMT 1998 Roy called and asked me to check for oil on the blue filter, I checked and both the ND filter and the blue filter are clean, no oil. Previously some oil leaked onto the ND filter from a lens but they sealed the lens and it looks like it isn't leaking now. They are seeing something on the images that leads them to think something is wrong with the optics somewhere. PICS COMMENT: Thu Jun 4 17:43:23 GMT 1998 The disc images look good with the new exposure of 3, I changed it from 4 to 3 yesterday, I'm not sure what the units are.
