First filter has a flim of small particles, second (main I think) filter has some large partciles. After handleing it for a few minutes I was able to see a few scratches in the final (camera side) surface. I dont know if these were caused by my handleing the filter or from pervious handling. Filter was blown off with air compressor and reinstalled. ___end___ Fri Apr 04 21:58:23 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Fri Apr 04 22:05:37 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Fri Apr 04 22:07:08 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Fri Apr 4 23:20:48 GMT 2014: PSPT Abort Patrol Fri Apr 4 23:20:55 GMT 2014: PSPT Abort Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Sat Apr 5 01:59:28 GMT 2014 Changed the Kcor sun protection observing code a little bit. Now the code checks if the cover is closed before attempting to close. If it isn't close it will try to close in the previous way. If it is already close it does nothing. ___end___
