Noticed one of the images in labview looked washed out. He walked me through focusing kcor. Also noticed that after three attempts to run kcor, it would crash. Anywho, just got everything looking nice and we are currently taking Science Data. Will calibrate around 9:30am HST. Thank you Ben! ___end___ Sun Sep 29 19:31:12 GMT 2013 KCOR End Patrol Sun Sep 29 19:31:55 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration.ini Sun Sep 29 19:49:26 GMT 2013 KCOR End Calibration Script Sun Sep 29 19:49:48 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Sun Sep 29 20:01:13 GMT 2013 COMP End Patrol Sun Sep 29 20:01:14 GMT 2013 COMP Start Patrol Sun Sep 29 20:03:36 GMT 2013 KCOR End Patrol Sun Sep 29 20:02:46 GMT 2013 COMP End Patrol Sun Sep 29 20:09:10 GMT 2013 COMP Start Patrol Sun Sep 29 20:12:13 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sun Sep 29 20:10:51 GMT 2013 Dome reconfigured. ___end___ Sun Sep 29 21:12:32 GMT 2013 KCOR End Patrol Sun Sep 29 21:11:22 GMT 2013 COMP End Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sun Sep 29 21:11:55 GMT 2013 Going in and out of a little bit of cloud right now.
