Tried rebooting the PC 4 or 5 times and it kept stalling on something like: "uncompressing Linux, OK, booting kernel", eventually it booted up OK after turning it on and letting it go, I didn't even see the above message so it didn't stall there on the good boot. ___end___ SBM COMMENT: Sun Jun 10 17:18:55 GMT 2007 Obs ___end___ PSPT COMMENT: Sun Jun 10 17:19:01 GMT 2007 Obs ___end___ A NEW TAPE HAS BEEN PUT INTO KAIEE DLT DRIVE, Sun Jun 10 17:32:16 GMT 2007 Sun Jun 10 17:44:02 GMT 2007 MKIV End Patrol **PSPT PROBLEM**: Sun Jun 10 17:47:26 GMT 2007 Wasn't pointed well enough to get a solar image, stopped program, pointed manually and restarted Obs. ___end___ Sun Jun 10 18:00:55 GMT 2007 CHIP LSD Sun Jun 10 18:01:12 GMT 2007 PICS Flat Sun Jun 10 18:02:38 GMT 2007 CHIP End LSD Sun Jun 10 18:02:47 GMT 2007 CHIP BiasLSD Sun Jun 10 18:03:28 GMT 2007 PICS End Flat Sun Jun 10 18:03:47 GMT 2007 MKIV End Cal Sun Jun 10 18:03:40 GMT 2007 CHIP End BiasLSD Sun Jun 10 18:03:47 GMT 2007 PICS ReStart Patrol Sun Jun 10 18:04:03 GMT 2007 MKIV Start Patrol Sun Jun 10 18:03:56 GMT 2007 CHIP Bias Sun Jun 10 18:04:55 GMT 2007 CHIP End Bias Sun Jun 10 18:05:03 GMT 2007 CHIP ReStart Patrol COMMENT: Sun Jun 10 20:31:11 GMT 2007 Lost Dec guiding, repointed and reset guider. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Sun Jun 10 21:22:28 GMT 2007 Low clouds are passing over. ___end___ SBM COMMENT: Sun Jun 10 22:01:05 GMT 2007 Paused due to clouds. ___end___ MKIV COMMENT: Sun Jun 10 22:01:13 GMT 2007 Paused due to clouds. ___end___ Sun Jun 10 22:01:48 GMT 2007 MKIV End Patrol Sun Jun 10 22:14:50 GMT 2007 CHIP End Patrol Sun Jun 10 22:15:02 GMT 2007 PICS End Patrol louds are thick, pausing rest of instruments. ___end___ COMMENT: Mon Jun 11 00:57:02 GMT 2007 I tried to rebalance the spar again, I removed the weight at the handle and another small C-weight at the brown angle-iron mount above the middle of the spar. It is difficult to get a good balance due to the locations of the weight mounts. Earlier today the bottom end of the spar wanted to move away from the pillar, after my balancing there was a little tendency to move toward the pillar when the spar was straight up but the Dec balance was good at other Dec positions, so I tightened the Dec clutch in the hope that would also help prevent loss of Dec guiding during the day. The spar is a little more difficult to position by hand in the Dec direction but I could still do it with one arm so I don't think it'll be a problem for anyone. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Mon Jun 11 01:05:04 GMT 2007 Cloudy and foggy. ___end___ NICE MK4 IMAGE: 1809 NICE CHIP IMAGE: 1814 NICE PICSLIMB IMAGE: 1804 NICE PICSDISC IMAGE: 1751 Mon Jun 11 01:28:32 GMT 2007 MkIV 16_50.rawmk4 18_04.rawmk4 19_05.rawmk4 20_07.rawmk4 21_12.rawmk4 16_53.rawmk4 18_07.rawmk4 19_08.rawmk4 20_10.rawmk4 21_15.rawmk4 16_56.rawmk4 18_09.rawmk4 19_11.rawmk4 20_13.rawmk4 21_18.rawmk4 16_59.rawmk4 18_12.rawmk4 19_14.rawmk4 20_16.rawmk4 21_21.rawmk4 17_02.rawmk4 18_15.rawmk4 19_17.rawmk4 20_19.rawmk4 21_27.rawmk4 17_05.rawmk4 18_18.rawmk4 19_20.rawmk4 20_22.rawmk4 21_31.rawmk4 17_08.rawmk4 18_21.rawmk4 19_23.rawmk4 20_25.rawmk4 21_34.rawmk4 17_11.rawmk4 18_24.rawmk4 19_26.rawmk4 20_28.rawmk4 21_37.rawmk4 17_14.rawmk4 18_27.rawmk4 19_29.rawmk4 20_33.rawmk4 21_40.rawmk4 17_17.rawmk4 18_30.rawmk4 19_32.rawmk4 20_37.rawmk4 21_46.rawmk4 17_20.rawmk4 18_33.rawmk4 19_35.rawmk4 20_40.rawmk4 21_49.rawmk4 17_23.rawmk4 18_36.rawmk4 19_38.rawmk4 20_43.rawmk4 21_52.rawmk4 17_25.rawmk4 18_39.rawmk4 19_41.rawmk4 20_46.rawmk4 21_55.rawmk4 17_28.rawmk4 18_42.rawmk4 19_43.rawmk4 20_49.rawmk4 21_58.rawmk4 17_31.rawmk4 18_45.rawmk4 19_46.rawmk4 20_52.rawmk4 c17_44.rawmk4 17_34.rawmk4 18_48.rawmk4 19_49.rawmk4 20_55.rawmk4 c17_51.rawmk4 17_37.rawmk4 18_51.rawmk4 19_52.rawmk4 20_58.rawmk4 c17_57.rawmk4 17_40.rawmk4 18_53.rawmk4 19_55.rawmk4 21_01.rawmk4 17_48.rawmk4 18_56.rawmk4 19_58.rawmk4 21_04.rawmk4 17_54.rawmk4 18_59.rawmk4 20_01.rawmk4 21_06.rawmk4 18_00.rawmk4 19_02.rawmk4 20_04.rawmk4 21_09.rawmk4
