MKIV COMMENT: Wed Jul 17 16:56:16 GMT 2002 Had to cycle power to KCC to get it to start up mormally. Until then it just kept cycling through some sequences without preparing the GUI screen.

PICS COMMENT: Wed Jul 17 21:06:05 GMT 2002 I guess the occulting is bad due to clouds causing poor spar tracking. I can't get it to stay occulted for long. **CHIP PROBLEM**: Wed Jul 17 22:02:11 GMT 2002 There was a centering problem due to the spar guiding changing slowly due to clouds. I reset the spar guider and recentered the image. **PICS PROBLEM**: Wed Jul 17 22:03:08 GMT 2002 The occulting is better now that the clouds are thinner and the spar guider is reset.
