O1 mostly cleaned. It isnt as nice as the CoMP or Mk4 lenses after a good cleanning but it is much nicer now. Took some data sets and tried to debug K-cor calibration images. Looks like the images aren't exactly who they claim to be. More work to follow on this. SGS was re-worked and tuned to address the afternoon RA osscilations, currently it looks like we will need to miss-balance the spar a little to give the system more RA preload. Perhaps long term we will need to re-work the stage. CoMP was adjusted to try and look at the intensity gradient that Leonard saw in pervious days data. Unfortunatly we didn't take a final data set for the day. The data that did get taken is no good and should be ignored. We now have dual monitors on both sgs and Kcor so the system can be run from either the dome or control rooms. Current setup is very tempoary. ___end___
