Big improvement from 46 minute delay between crash and alert. Killed and restarted. **PSPT PROBLEM**: Fri Aug 13 21:41:16 GMT 2004 PSPT crashed again at 2120 UT taking CaK image. Killed and restarted. Alert email message arrived as I was Restarting. WEATHER COMMENT: Fri Aug 13 23:57:39 GMT 2004 Clear. Centering O1. Fri Aug 13 23:57:59 GMT 2004 MKIV Start Patrol **PSPT PROBLEM**: Sat Aug 14 00:12:17 GMT 2004 Noticed that PSPT was looking at right edge of dome slot. Stopped observations and tweeked dome slot position using "dome goto (position)" command then did a "dome cal" and then "dome ephm" commands. It could be that the dome is lagging the ephemeris when the azimuth drive gear jumps out of the track during midday rotation. Dome does not rotate as much as the program tells it to, actual position lags step count. Restarted observations.

This may be due to the adjustment I made at 0012 UT. Manually moved dome to nominal park azimuth with interface cable unplugged, did an init sys on the PC, and plugged interface cable back in.
