Looks like we now have more scattered light in the realtime images; but I am not sure if it is related to my intervention or due to changes in sky conditions. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Mar 09 21:41:32 GMT 2016 Images look horrible in the quick look but this does appear to be related to dust. Unfortunatly the large buttle hole in the East side of the image remains. ___end___ Wed Mar 09 22:10:28 GMT 2016 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Mar 10 00:36:50 GMT 2016 Elevated winds from the east as well as lots of dust kicked up are gonig to force abandoing observing for the rest of the day. ___end___
