All these positions are in relative coordinates since it appears that the mike controller can't readout in absolute coordinates for some reason. PICS COMMENT: Thu Sep 2 17:39:12 GMT 1999 Starting Patrol again temporarily while I center the occulter better. COMMENT: Thu Sep 2 17:41:25 GMT 1999 Lost tracking, repointed the Spar.

Before I startup Patrol I want to improve the setscrew securing of the PICS filter wheel, while the instrument is open. PICS COMMENT: Thu Sep 2 19:57:43 GMT 1999 Finished putting Loctite on all 3 associated filter wheel setscrews. Moved camera mike position to 9422.5 microns which is ideal position according to David's analysis of the images I took earlier. Will now close up the instrument and restart Patrol.

I tried aborting from normal menu (press a) and tried Obs, it still doesn't work, it tries to lock onto the sun and probably would start observing but it can't see the sun through the clouds. So I'm stuck again, I can't close down correctly until the sun comes out.

I shut down all the electronics normally. **PSPT PROBLEM**: Thu Sep 2 22:17:45 GMT 1999 I talked to Randy and we were able to shutdown and stow the telescope with the command pspt_shutdown He'll compress and transfer the files later tonight.
