Clear sky, wind=5 mph from the South, temp=38 F.

Login took a very long time, network is down.

MKIII COMMENT: Fri Dec 29 18:50:32 GMT 1995
When I tried to do a channel 1 calibration I noticed that there is no signal
getting through (no "loaf of bread").
I am checking this out.


MKIII COMMENT: Fri Dec 29 18:54:46 GMT 1995
Signal came back when I cycled the Analog power.


MKIII COMMENT: Fri Dec 29 19:00:50 GMT 1995
The first channel 1 calibration is no good, I didn't finish it either.  The
second attempt appears to be working.

DPMON COMMENT: Fri Dec 29 19:28:15 GMT 1995
In recent weeks we have had trouble trying to correct occulting by moving
the telescope to the North, today I am having trouble moving it to the West
as well as the North.  I will run some tests on the occulting now so it is
going to look even worse for a while.

I recentered the guiding telescope.


MKIII COMMENT: Fri Dec 29 20:19:48 GMT 1995
Data should be back to normal now that the guiding is normal.


DPMON COMMENT: Fri Dec 29 20:20:17 GMT 1995
Will try to recenter occulting and see if recentering the guider telescope
helped.


DPMON COMMENT: Fri Dec 29 20:21:46 GMT 1995
Pausing Patrol to recenter occulter more easily.

MKIII COMMENT: Fri Dec 29 21:39:54 GMT 1995
Scans were bad from around 2100 to 2130 because the spar wasn't pointed at the
sun while I worked on the dPMon.


DPMON COMMENT: Fri Dec 29 21:40:43 GMT 1995
I had to tighten the clutches for the telescope pointing mechanisms.  This is
used to adjust occulting and the clutches were loose for both E-W and N-S
geartrains.  The E-W clutch slips before the limit switches are activated
but that shouldn't cause any problems unless we let them slip for a long time
but that shouldn't happen unless we get totally lost as to the direction to
use to adjust occulting.  The N-S clutch slips if you go about 2/3 of the
way towards the South limit switch (even after tightening it to a reasonable
setting) but that won't happen unless we position the solar image about
1/3 of the way off the screen (unlikely), the North limit switch is activated
if you point too far North (cuts power).  Occulting should be a lot better
now.
