Thu Jun 5 23:13:40 GMT 2003 PICS End Patrol WEATHER COMMENT: Thu Jun 5 23:33:34 GMT 2003 Getting some fog now, closing domes. **PSPT PROBLEM**: Fri Jun 6 00:07:24 GMT 2003 I found that the left side shutter stop was interfering with the shutter for the last 0.5" before full closure, this was what was causing the motor to stall sometimes in the past. I removed it and cut it down a little with a hacksaw, initially it was bigger than the right side "stop", now it is slightly smaller but will do its job just as well. We should be able to fully close the shutter without any stalling anymore - no matter what direction the dome is pointed to. The stop had been touching a shutter bearing mount as it was passing by, but it is designed to touch only the bearing wheel. -Darryl WEATHER COMMENT: Fri Jun 6 01:49:39 GMT 2003 Clouds are still thick and dark.
