DEC is closed tomorrow. He will probably be up here on Monday to work on the 11/44. Exasperating, isn't it?? We might be shutting the 11/44 down before he fixes it! COMMENT: Thu Jul 3 18:12:52 GMT 1997 Can't get thru on modem at this time, it worked earlier. If I cannot get thru later, I will email the 11/44 status update and the answers to Terry's MKIII cabling questions from home--Nobody's at work at HAO today anyway.

Closed dome with the instrument running so I could inspect O1 and prefilter as the dome was closing. There was a thin layer of dust on the optics. Fortunately a light blast of air blew it off.
