CoMP COMMENT BY BEN: Wed Apr 27 19:29:47 GMT 2011
Switched CoMP occulting disk light dump mirror to spare, since it was found the reflective mylar on the origional mirror had delamiated and was causing optical problems reported 12/8/10.
The new mirror sends light to the top of the light dump with some reflection off of the motor controller just above (toward the sun) the light dump.  The origional mirror (which has a different angle) sent the solar disk light to the bottom of the light
dump.

CoMP COMMENT BY BEN: Thu Apr 28 01:21:24 GMT 2011
Changed CoMP observing program to place a user supplied occulter number into the fits header. (current defaulted to 33)
Changed CoMP observing program to allow the user to select ND filter for 1083.  It was selected as position 4 (ND 1) now set to position 5 (ND 5).

Both of these two values now appear in the instrument status area of the main screen.

None of today's CoMP data should be reduced.  It was taken to test out some software settings with little or no light on the detector
