Pushing clouds now puts the shutter in the beam along with pausing operations. This should now be a nice safe operation to do for pausing the instrument on quick passing clouds. Then once the cloud condition has pass un-checking the cloud button will allow the ucomp controller to pickup where it left off. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jun 02 01:50:23 GMT 2021 Took UComP for most of the day, but skys were pretty back and too bright for kcor since about 18UT ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey
