Patrol **PSPT PROBLEM**: Wed Jun 21 17:53:08 GMT 2000 Installed the repaired Y-direction stepper driver board for the quadcell stage. Initialization worked correctly, no stalling while trying to point the stage. Further operation showed that the telescope wasn't pointing correctly in either RA or Declination. I will calibrate the guider ephemeris and try again.

I have about 3 pages of notes on what I tried in the log book and don't want to rewrite them here. I had to repoint the beam-splitter in RA to get the image on the quadcell lens when it was centered on the CCD. Then after I got a very centered image I turned off the active mirror and the guiding and did a guider ephmcal, this last time it worked, but I tried many similar iterations before that. Anyway, now it is working and taking data again after being down for a month with various problems. :53 GMT 2000 CHIP End Bias COMMENT: Wed Jun 21 20:17:13 GMT 2000 Extended the dome slot. **PICS PROBLEM**: Wed Jun 21 20:21:27 GMT 2000 I noticed that the occulting wheel was spinning continuously and the Home switch was continuously on. Figuring the Home limit switch was adjusted too close to the cam I backed it out a little, and I had to bend the actuator arm to allow switching without the arm touching the switchbox. It is working well now. Wed Jun 21 20:37:38 GMT 2000 PICS Start Patrol **MKIV PROBLEM**: Wed Jun 21 21:44:18 GMT 2000 Manually wrote yesterdays file to tape due to a Write Error last night.
