COMMENT: Wed Oct 1 17:00:38 GMT 1997 I had to turn on a few circuit breakers and plug in a power cord to the MK3 OCP before I could get everything working like normal. This was leftover from the electrical work that was done yesterday by John Perreira and Steve Sadler.

COMMENT: Wed Oct 1 19:04:42 GMT 1997 Adjusted the spar guiding a little so that the MK3 O1 guiding would improve. MKIII COMMENT: Wed Oct 1 19:34:32 GMT 1997 Did a cal despite the bright sky. Wed Oct 1 19:34:50 GMT 1997 MKIII Start Patrol PICS COMMENT: Wed Oct 1 19:35:59 GMT 1997 Still getting occasional noticeable double-imaging on the disk images, mostly before 1730 ut, although I saw one around 1900 also. MKIII COMMENT: Wed Oct 1 19:44:04 GMT 1997 I did a cal earlier, data were going to tape before that but now it appears that data aren't going to tape, as judged by watching for tape drive activity at the end of each scan. MKIII COMMENT: Wed Oct 1 19:56:00 GMT 1997 The Write tape drive field is green all the time even though no tape drive activity is visible.
