Sat Oct 27 18:41:32 GMT 2001 PICS Start Patrol **PICS PROBLEM**: Sat Oct 27 18:43:08 GMT 2001 I stopped and restarted a couple of times trying to figure out why images were diffuse, it turned out I forgot to take the dust cover off this morning. At first I thought it was caused by the cirrus but found the problem after the sky recently cleared up, all is well now.

Then I will do a cal again with the new Opal and leave it in place while the previous Opal gets sent to Boulder for testing.

I'm going to start a cal anyway, with this new Opal, and I'll keep trying until I think I get a good cal.

This is the second cal with the new Opal, and this makes the 3rd cal today.

I deleted some mk4 files from 1700-1800 Yesterday since they were already transfered last night, this gave me enough memory to finish the operations for today.
