I was surprised to find a few spiderwebs behind the O1. Since these webs were in the flow of the hepa system the webs tended to dance around which I think contributed to extra image degradation. O1 was pulled out and webs were removed. Now real time images look better although the background still looks a little high. ___end___ Wed Sep 16 19:18:17 GMT 2015 KCOR End Patrol Wed Sep 16 19:18:48 GMT 2015 CoMP Paused for clouds Wed Sep 16 19:24:36 GMT 2015 CoMP Restarted from pause Wed Sep 16 19:26:56 GMT 2015 CoMP Paused for clouds Wed Sep 16 19:29:16 GMT 2015 CoMP Restarted from pause Wed Sep 16 19:31:43 GMT 2015 CoMP Paused for clouds Wed Sep 16 20:13:47 GMT 2015 CoMP Restarted from pause Wed Sep 16 20:15:10 GMT 2015 CoMP Paused for clouds GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Sep 16 22:11:09 GMT 2015 I got caught up with some other stuff and forgot to make a log.
