Fri Jul 2 18:32:33 GMT 1999 CHIP CHIP End Patrol COMMENT: Fri Jul 2 18:47:28 GMT 1999 jamming spar around while working upstairs. **CHIP PROBLEM**: Fri Jul 2 19:06:32 GMT 1999 THere is no smudging on the front surface of the CHIP filter but I can see smudging on the edge of the back element. Attempting to remove the smudge. MKIV COMMENT: Fri Jul 2 19:08:09 GMT 1999 Stopping MKIV/III. Spar is way out of balance, I am leaning on things, and spar is not pointing toward the sun for the most part. **CHIP PROBLEM**: Fri Jul 2 19:55:49 GMT 1999 Moved filter as far forward as I could without jeopardizing the connectors and running the dovetail off the rail. Cleaned off smudge with foam-tipped swabs and minimal ethanol using an inspection mirror to view surface. Dusted it off with the compressor. Remounted filter against the camera shield.

Contrast improves using table 3 colorizing. Will wait for Boulder scrutiny to see if there was significant improvement due to the filter window cleaning. PICS COMMENT: Fri Jul 2 20:25:15 GMT 1999 I may jostle the spar around again as I next work on re-installing the Kodak Megaplus 1.6i camera into the PICS and work on positioning the image.

Centered image as best I could and then did a rough focus to find a good range. Applied a Hartman mask to front of O1 and repeated focus iterations until I found, in my opinion, a good focus. Buttoned up the PICS and started a series of data scans.
