This leads the CHIP and H-ALPHA images to be poorly centered on the array. I am not sure if MkIV is effectd becasue the sky has remained to cloudy to get a signal from the coronograph. The spar looks like it should be pointed in the right direction, the image of the sun falls in the nonimal spot on the ground glass, and the guide telescope appears to have not moved. ___end___ Sat Apr 17 01:50:47 GMT 2010 CHIP End Patrol NOTE BY BEN: Sat Apr 17 01:56:42 GMT 2010 ___end___ Sat Apr 17 01:57:03 GMT 2010 MkIV
