I had to drive north up the coast then go past Waikoloa and onto the old Saddle Rd to get to MLSO. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY stueben: Tue Nov 26 19:29:25 GMT 2013 Rear mounting holes for new guider telescope are drilled and tapped. Telescope is mounted, working on alignment. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Nov 26 20:23:35 GMT 2013 Guider moved back 2" and is now firmly attached to the spar. It has been aligned with .012" shims under the back BA2 plate and it is currently 20:24Ut aligned to kcor better then I have ever aligned with the Guider zero point offsets. I am a little concerned that we might see some drifting like we did under the old arrangment with only the 3 bolts holding it down. So we should monitor kcor centering going forward. ___end___ Tue Nov 26 20:29:20 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Tue Nov 26 20:29:23 GMT 2013 KCOR End Patrol Tue Nov 26 20:30:48 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Tue Nov 26 20:36:54 GMT 2013 COMP Start Patrol Tue Nov 26 20:52:18 GMT 2013 KCOR End Patrol Tue Nov 26 20:52:18 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg.ini Tue Nov 26 21:08:09 GMT 2013 KCOR End Calibration Script Tue Nov 26 21:08:25 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Tue Nov 26 21:08:26 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Tue Nov 26 22:32:26 GMT 2013 KCOR End Patrol Tue Nov 26 22:36:18 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY stueben: Tue Nov 26 22:36:53 GMT 2013 Lost spar tracking as spar hit grey ladder which hadn't been moved after working on sgs telescope earlier.
