I can see a light signal when the sun is behind clouds that decreases or increases when I block the light path just before the Schneider lens, that's a good sign that the camera is working. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Feb 10 21:02:41 GMT 2009 Thick dark clouds, pausing instruments and closing domes. ___end___ Tue Feb 10 21:03:28 GMT 2009 PICS End Patrol Tue Feb 10 21:55:51 GMT 2009 CHIP End Patrol **MKIV PROBLEM**: Tue Feb 10 23:07:32 GMT 2009 New camera is removed again, I checked the LVAL Pretrigger seeting to verify it is set to 0 like the old camera, it is. There is another rubber-plugged hole in the side of the camera box that has another 16-position dial in it, the old camera was set to 0, the new camera is set to 8. 8 is the exact opposite side of the dial so I'm wondering if this was set there by mistake or if it was a factory setting. I sent out info to see if anyone at HAO or Kim or David know anything about this setting. If not then I'm inclined to leave it alone then re-install and try to align the camera. ___end___ Tue Feb 10 23:33:08 GMT 2009 MkIV
