Checking hairlines before and after adjustment abd they were at 108 and 109 both times so this adjustment didn't move them, I didn't turn the single bottom screw that I used to adjust the hairline position previously. Also taped over potential light leak places like the front plate of the camera and a few screwholes and wire holes in the camera chamber, then closed and taped up that. Ran a Correct and a Calibration before continuing with Patrol. ___end___ Tue Jun 2 20:50:13 GMT 2009 MKIV Start Cal **MKIV PROBLEM**: Tue Jun 2 20:50:26 GMT 2009 Barrel got stuck at CCW limit when tried Cal, cycled KCC power and will try again. ___end___ Tue Jun 2 21:08:53 GMT 2009 MKIV End Cal Tue Jun 2 21:08:59 GMT 2009 MKIV Start Patrol **MKIV PROBLEM**: Tue Jun 2 21:24:33 GMT 2009 Scans look bad, corona not visible in realtime scan (fainter than before?), adjusted images look mostly white except for near the limb, will stop and try another Correct. ___end___ Tue Jun 2 21:26:50 GMT 2009 MKIV End Patrol Tue Jun 2 21:27:07 GMT 2009 MKIV Start Correct Tue Jun 2 21:28:40 GMT 2009 MKIV End Correct Tue Jun 2 21:29:17 GMT 2009 MKIV Start Patrol **MKIV PROBLEM**: Tue Jun 2 21:37:55 GMT 2009 Corona is back again after that last Correct, I don't understand it but apparently there is something flaky related to running a Correct. Anyway, the corona is still faint. ___end___ Tue Jun 2 21:47:20 GMT 2009 MKIV End Patrol Tue Jun 2 21:47:25 GMT 2009 MKIV Start Cal MKIV COMMENT: Tue Jun 2 21:51:30 GMT 2009 I'm proceeding with Step #6 of the camera installation writeup, a Cal is running then I'll run 2 more Cals with an ND in the lightpath. ___end___ Tue Jun 2 22:06:05 GMT 2009 MKIV End Cal Tue Jun 2 22:06:26 GMT 2009 MKIV Start Cal MKIV COMMENT: Tue Jun 2 22:07:34 GMT 2009 Started the 1st Cal with the ND in place. ___end___ Tue Jun 2 22:15:53 GMT 2009 PICS End Patrol Tue Jun 2 22:15:45 GMT 2009 CHIP End Patrol NICE PICSDISC IMAGE: 1724 NICE PICSLIMB IMAGE: 1852 NICE MK4 IMAGE: 1900 Tue Jun 2 22:25:13 GMT 2009 MKIV End Cal Tue Jun 2 22:26:09 GMT 2009 MKIV Start Cal MKIV COMMENT: Tue Jun 2 22:26:52 GMT 2009 Running 2nd Cal with ND in place. ___end___ Tue Jun 2 22:45:00 GMT 2009 MKIV End Cal COMMENT: Tue Jun 2 22:55:32 GMT 2009 2 new laptops arrived from CSMT, they work fine. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Jun 2 23:20:54 GMT 2009 Low clouds are moving in, I'll continue with step #7 of mk4 stuff tomorrow. ___end___ Tue Jun 2 23:32:40 GMT 2009 MkIV 16_49.rawmk4 17_39.rawmk4 18_29.rawmk4 21_05.rawmk4 22_21.rawmk4 16_52.rawmk4 17_42.rawmk4 18_32.rawmk4 21_08.rawmk4 22_29.rawmk4 16_55.rawmk4 17_45.rawmk4 18_35.rawmk4 21_11.rawmk4 22_35.rawmk4 16_58.rawmk4 17_48.rawmk4 18_38.rawmk4 21_14.rawmk4 22_41.rawmk4 17_01.rawmk4 17_51.rawmk4 18_44.rawmk4 21_17.rawmk4 c20_50.rawmk4 17_04.rawmk4 17_54.rawmk4 18_48.rawmk4 21_20.rawmk4 c20_56.rawmk4 17_07.rawmk4 17_57.rawmk4 18_51.rawmk4 21_23.rawmk4 c21_02.rawmk4 17_10.rawmk4 18_00.rawmk4 18_54.rawmk4 21_32.rawmk4 c21_47.rawmk4 17_13.rawmk4 18_03.rawmk4 18_57.rawmk4 21_35.rawmk4 c21_53.rawmk4 17_16.rawmk4 18_06.rawmk4 19_00.rawmk4 21_38.rawmk4 c21_59.rawmk4 17_19.rawmk4 18_09.rawmk4 19_03.rawmk4 21_41.rawmk4 c22_06.rawmk4 17_22.rawmk4 18_12.rawmk4 19_05.rawmk4 21_44.rawmk4 c22_12.rawmk4 17_25.rawmk4 18_15.rawmk4 19_08.rawmk4 21_50.rawmk4 c22_18.rawmk4 17_28.rawmk4 18_18.rawmk4 19_11.rawmk4 21_56.rawmk4 c22_26.rawmk4 17_31.rawmk4 18_21.rawmk4 19_14.rawmk4 22_02.rawmk4 c22_32.rawmk4 17_34.rawmk4 18_24.rawmk4 20_53.rawmk4 22_09.rawmk4 c22_38.rawmk4 17_37.rawmk4 18_26.rawmk4 20_59.rawmk4 22_15.rawmk4
