I could only get a 4-40 screw on the flange for the cable-chain gear, I did that last time, but I snapped off the capscrew flush with the flange today while tightening it. So that leadscrew gear is on there tight with no way to loosen it. It may not be a problem since the whole leadscrew and gear can be removed as a unti anyway, I cut a slot in the washer I'm using as a bearing keeper so it can fit in place without removing the gear, if we ever have to replaced the circular bearing there then the gear will have to be pulled off and a new setscrew installed in it. The gear may come loose from wear, that would be a good time to install a new setscrew too. ___end___ Tue Dec 12 23:12:27 GMT 2006 CHIP End Patrol **PICS PROBLEM**: Tue Dec 12 23:12:33 GMT 2006 I need to drill and tap hole on the PICS instrument so I'm pausing obs to lock the spar and work on that. ___end___ Tue Dec 12 23:17:29 GMT 2006 MKIV End Patrol Wed Dec 13 00:39:35 GMT 2006 MKIV Start Patrol Wed Dec 13 00:39:55 GMT 2006 CHIP Start Patrol Wed Dec 13 00:40:36 GMT 2006 PICS Start Patrol Wed Dec 13 00:47:06 GMT 2006 CHIP End Patrol Wed Dec 13 00:47:07 GMT 2006 PICS End Patrol **PICS PROBLEM**: Wed Dec 13 00:41:06 GMT 2006 OK, I fixed the stage problems and restarted, but now the images are overexposed. Stopping everything to open PICS again and look inside. ___end___ Wed Dec 13 00:51:46 GMT 2006 MKIV End Patrol Wed Dec 13 01:02:15 GMT 2006 MKIV Start Patrol Wed Dec 13 01:02:51 GMT 2006 CHIP Start Patrol Wed Dec 13 01:02:53 GMT 2006 PICS Start Patrol **PICS PROBLEM**: Wed Dec 13 01:04:01 GMT 2006 OK, all problems are fixed now, the stage is working well and hopefully won't have that same old problem of popping out the leadscrew bearing anymore. The image is still overexposed but I found the problem, I had forgotten to plug the Halle filter back in, it will take a while to get on-band again. ___end___ **PSPT PROBLEM**: Wed Dec 13 01:33:04 GMT 2006 Crashed, PC showed "serial port buffer overflow" error message. Killed runPspt, exited IDL, turned off power like end of day, rebooted PC, then turned on everything and did a "Startup" like the beginning of the day. This is how it has to be done to avoid a dome runaway. ___end___ Wed Dec 13 02:07:08 GMT 2006 MKIV End Patrol NICE PICSDISC IMAGE: 0206 NICE PICSLIMB IMAGE: 0043 Wed Dec 13 02:12:42 GMT 2006 CHIP End Patrol NICE CHIP IMAGE: 1842 Wed Dec 13 02:13:12 GMT 2006 PICS End Patrol NICE MK4 IMAGE: 1838 Wed Dec 13 02:30:08 GMT 2006 MkIV 00_39.rawmk4 17_46.rawmk4 19_19.rawmk4 20_41.rawmk4 22_03.rawmk4 00_42.rawmk4 17_48.rawmk4 19_22.rawmk4 20_44.rawmk4 22_06.rawmk4 00_45.rawmk4 17_51.rawmk4 19_25.rawmk4 20_47.rawmk4 22_09.rawmk4 00_48.rawmk4 17_54.rawmk4 19_28.rawmk4 20_50.rawmk4 22_12.rawmk4 01_02.rawmk4 17_57.rawmk4 19_31.rawmk4 20_53.rawmk4 22_15.rawmk4 01_05.rawmk4 18_00.rawmk4 19_33.rawmk4 20_56.rawmk4 22_18.rawmk4 01_08.rawmk4 18_07.rawmk4 19_36.rawmk4 20_59.rawmk4 22_21.rawmk4 01_11.rawmk4 18_13.rawmk4 19_39.rawmk4 21_02.rawmk4 22_24.rawmk4 01_14.rawmk4 18_19.rawmk4 19_42.rawmk4 21_04.rawmk4 22_27.rawmk4 01_16.rawmk4 18_23.rawmk4 19_45.rawmk4 21_08.rawmk4 22_30.rawmk4 01_19.rawmk4 18_26.rawmk4 19_48.rawmk4 21_10.rawmk4 22_33.rawmk4 01_22.rawmk4 18_29.rawmk4 19_51.rawmk4 21_13.rawmk4 22_36.rawmk4 01_25.rawmk4 18_32.rawmk4 19_54.rawmk4 21_16.rawmk4 22_39.rawmk4 01_28.rawmk4 18_35.rawmk4 19_57.rawmk4 21_19.rawmk4 22_41.rawmk4 01_31.rawmk4 18_38.rawmk4 20_00.rawmk4 21_22.rawmk4 22_44.rawmk4 01_34.rawmk4 18_41.rawmk4 20_03.rawmk4 21_25.rawmk4 22_47.rawmk4 01_37.rawmk4 18_44.rawmk4 20_06.rawmk4 21_28.rawmk4 22_50.rawmk4 01_40.rawmk4 18_46.rawmk4 20_09.rawmk4 21_31.rawmk4 22_53.rawmk4 01_43.rawmk4 18_49.rawmk4 20_12.rawmk4 21_34.rawmk4 22_56.rawmk4 01_46.rawmk4 18_52.rawmk4 20_15.rawmk4 21_37.rawmk4 22_59.rawmk4 01_49.rawmk4 18_55.rawmk4 20_17.rawmk4 21_40.rawmk4 23_02.rawmk4 01_52.rawmk4 18_58.rawmk4 20_20.rawmk4 21_43.rawmk4 23_05.rawmk4 01_55.rawmk4 19_01.rawmk4 20_23.rawmk4 21_46.rawmk4 23_08.rawmk4 01_58.rawmk4 19_04.rawmk4 20_26.rawmk4 21_49.rawmk4 23_11.rawmk4 02_01.rawmk4 19_07.rawmk4 20_29.rawmk4 21_52.rawmk4 23_14.rawmk4 02_03.rawmk4 19_10.rawmk4 20_32.rawmk4 21_55.rawmk4 c18_04.rawmk4 17_40.rawmk4 19_13.rawmk4 20_35.rawmk4 21_57.rawmk4 c18_10.rawmk4 17_43.rawmk4 19_16.rawmk4 20_38.rawmk4 22_00.rawmk4 c18_16.rawmk4
