Enough blue skies to see the sun but the sucker windows dont seeem big enought to get any kcor. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Wed May 02 18:07:23 GMT 2018 SGS guider inspection. We found that swapping out the guide telescope/detector with a onsite spare brought the SUMV value back up to 7v, it had been more like 3 wit hthe facility guider. Currently the spare guider is installed with tape an magnets; so its alignment may drift/slip slightly over time. If we decided to permantly swap in the spare we will have to do a better job with the mounting. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Wed May 02 19:29:17 GMT 2018 Now foggy. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Wed May 02 19:48:02 GMT 2018 AED 9V battery swapped ___end___ Wed May 02 21:19:49 GMT 2018 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Thu May 03 00:42:47 GMT 2018 Reverting SGS back to the old guider, until we have a change to propery bolt down and align the spare guider. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Thu May 03 01:56:36 GMT 2018 More work on the GPS setup in the building.
