MKIII COMMENT: Sat Jan 31 20:20:27 GMT 1998 Had to adjust the Spar guider again to get the O1 guider centered in E-W. MKIII COMMENT: Sat Jan 31 20:24:37 GMT 1998 *****RECYCLING H01729***** MKIII COMMENT: Sat Jan 31 20:35:15 GMT 1998 Since the O1 guiders are causing more problems than they are worth I disconnected them up near the O1. This will reduce the bad occulting for the PICS and probably for the MKIII as well. I can still watch the O1 occulting sensors on the OCP and see if they get far off. It might be a good idea to run this way, that is, occasionally adjust the Spar guider while the O1 guiders are hooked up so that the MK3 occulting gets peaked, then disconnect the O1 guiders to prevent the Spar bounce problems and other problems that they cause. At least until we find a way to make those O1 guiders work in a better, more damped manner.

It will be interesting to see where they start tomorrow (No O1 guiding), and how they change throughout the day.
