MKIV COMMENT: Wed Dec 17 17:50:30 GMT 2003 Centered O1 after mk4 cleared dome cylinder. WEATHER COMMENT: Wed Dec 17 17:50:48 GMT 2003 Passing cirrostratus band.

Image is close to left edge of display but changing values further did not change image location. MKIV COMMENT: Wed Dec 17 18:59:22 GMT 2003 Centered O1. MKIV COMMENT: Wed Dec 17 19:01:47 GMT 2003 MKIV COMMENT: Wed Dec 17 19:01:57 GMT 2003 Canceled Cal request, just got into large patch of cirrus. WEATHER COMMENT: Wed Dec 17 19:25:32 GMT 2003 In clear hole. Wed Dec 17 19:26:04 GMT 2003 MKIV End Patrol **MKIV PROBLEM**: Wed Dec 17 19:27:41 GMT 2003 Opal did not go all the way in. Moved it in by hand. After 0-tilt scan, opal stalled moving out. Had to move it out all the way by hand. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Wed Dec 17 19:37:15 GMT 2003 Helped opal along again before and after 15-tilt calibration scans. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Wed Dec 17 19:43:11 GMT 2003 Helped opal out after dark scan. WEATHER COMMENT: Wed Dec 17 19:43:48 GMT 2003 In cirrostratus. Idling mk4 after calibration series pau until sun moves out of cirrostratus deck. Wed Dec 17 19:45:47 GMT 2003 MKIV End Cal Wed Dec 17 19:51:48 GMT 2003 CHIP End Patrol **MKIV PROBLEM**: Wed Dec 17 19:51:56 GMT 2003 Stopping CHIP and PICS in cirrus to tighten up opal mechanism. Need to remove the shroud over O1 area, this will upset spar balance while working on the opal mechanism. Wed Dec 17 19:53:25 GMT 2003 PICS End Patrol Wed Dec 17 20:29:44 GMT 2003 CHIP Start Patrol Wed Dec 17 20:29:50 GMT 2003 PICS Start Patrol **PSPT PROBLEM**: Wed Dec 17 20:29:39 GMT 2003 Well.... PSPT decided to crash while I was working on the MK4 opal. Crashed at "MirIsOn = 0 CapIsOpen = 1" at 1957 UT. Killed/restarted. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Wed Dec 17 20:34:00 GMT 2003 Did not see a simple way to fix opal. Need to await Darryl's examination and assessment and two-person day so someone can exercise the opal while the other observer watches the action. Opal is pinned to motor shaft with a roll pin and the location of the pin is very awkward. May need to remove and disassemble mechanism to repair. Problem could alternately be a motor stall. In the meantime, observer will have to assist the opal during calibration. Wed Dec 17 20:37:17 GMT 2003 MKIV Start Patrol MKIV COMMENT: Wed Dec 17 20:37:19 GMT 2003 Dusted off O1 after reassembling opal/O1 housing covers. MKIV COMMENT: Wed Dec 17 21:24:30 GMT 2003 Centered O1. COMMENT: Wed Dec 17 21:36:35 GMT 2003 Declination reset. Repointed spar and reset guider. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Wed Dec 17 21:48:11 GMT 2003 Images in xanim window look saturated compared to raw images on KCC monitor. cmdtool is also not updating because edit log size has exceeded its maximum. Stopping and restarting Run.

This time I will be trying to exit and reboot nahenahe and KCC.
