Requesting a second move fixed the issue. I assume this was a one off problem. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Mon Aug 15 20:35:58 GMT 2016 Dome closed for low clouds. ___end___ CoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Aug 16 01:42:06 GMT 2016 Pulled the O1 out for cleaning today. The main goal was to get things in the best cast for the HOP316 campagin on Wednesday. But I also wanted to test out a spot light on the cleaning station. The light seems very effective. It was easy to see dust/marks/residue that got lost in the old lighting scheme. However I was unable to remove some linear structures which I had assumed were bug tracks with soap. I can tell if these are on or in the glass but with current cleaning tech they dont want to wash away. ___end___
