The way I copied the camera focus fitting code to create the o1 focus fitting code; caused the camera fitter to point at the new O1 fitter instead of the proper camera fitting code. (I am not sure how to make that sentence sound less convoluted). The focus.vi has been fixed so that now the camera focus uses the camera fitter and the O1 focus uses the O1 fitter. __end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jan 24 19:13:07 GMT 2014 socketcam got a circular buffer error ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jan 24 19:14:05 GMT 2014 Wind speed is increasing now 25mph from the West ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jan 24 19:14:49 GMT 2014 Quitting socketcam and restarting resolved buffer issue ___end___ Fri Jan 24 19:17:32 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Fri Jan 24 20:07:48 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol Fri Jan 24 20:07:49 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg.ini Fri Jan 24 20:23:40 GMT 2014 KCOR End Calibration Script Fri Jan 24 20:23:57 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Fri Jan 24 20:23:57 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Fri Jan 24 20:26:07 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Fri Jan 24 20:26:08 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Fri Jan 24 20:31:28 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jan 24 20:44:11 GMT 2014 Re-centered sgs on kcor ___end___ Fri Jan 24 20:45:52 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Fri Jan 24 20:47:00 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Fri Jan 24 22:06:03 GMT 2014: PSPT Start Patrol Fri Jan 24 22:13:20 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jan 24 22:08:56 GMT 2014 Tried to find the source of the extra reflection/defraction in Kcor. Initial midigation taken this morning was to replace one of the 1/4-20 screws in the Cal pol cover with with a shorter black screw, and replace the baffle retaining screw with a shorter screw that doesnt stick out into the beam train. Just now some black tape was added to the other Cal-pol bolt that is near the beam; but none of these interventions appear to be effective. I just noticed that the O1 is very dirty with a large feature in the South-West side of the lens and a smaller more diffuse feature in the center of the lens. I think these blobs might be the cause of the features we are seeing. ___end___ Fri Jan 24 22:14:42 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Sat Jan 25 00:10:28 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Sat Jan 25 00:10:29 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Sat Jan 25 00:16:14 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Sat Jan 25 00:16:11 GMT 2014: PSPT Abort Patrol Sat Jan 25 00:17:03 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol
