MOF2 field is Red with a value of 145, the MOF1 field is green with a value of 143. **PSPT PROBLEM**: Tue Aug 24 20:49:50 GMT 2004 The instrument isn't being operated while I try to fix a dome azimuth drive problem, more details are in the log from 2 days ago. **ECHO PROBLEM**: Tue Aug 24 21:18:46 GMT 2004 I did a Partial Power Down sequence and brought the instrument and PC back up and restarted observations but the same faint lower image and Red MOF2 field still exist as displayed by the PC GUI monitor. WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Aug 24 21:36:03 GMT 2004 Getting some low clouds. MKIV COMMENT: Tue Aug 24 21:36:26 GMT 2004 Centered occulting.

Next I reversed a 4 bolt mount at the ESE location to get that roller to push out on the dome more, I'll do another on Thursday. Then we're going to try using a dremel tool to slot the 4 bolt holes on each of 2 to 4 roller mounts on the WSW side, the slots will be continuations of the existing bolt hole going 3/16" toward the outer side of the mounts, that will let the mounts sit in toward the center of the dome more which should relieve some force pushing the dome outward at that WSW area - and that may relieve some force pulling inward at the ESE area where the dome currently makes contact with the roller ring seam cover. While comparing the main bigger dome to the PSPT dome I can see where rain water may may be directed down behind some loose aluminum exterior sheathing; screwing in the sheathing all around the top of the main circular dome wall by reaching out through the dome slot could cure the rain leak problems.
