Looks like mlsoserver is sitll rebuilding so we don't have DHCP and things are otherwise slow. It also looks like CoMP failed to do its copy to mlsoserver last night which hopefully helps the disk rebuilding process. ___end___ Mon Jun 16 18:17:07 GMT 2014: PSPT Start Patrol Mon Jun 16 18:23:58 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Mon Jun 16 18:47:18 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Mon Jun 16 18:50:45 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Mon Jun 16 18:50:53 GMT 2014 Going up to rotate the kcor O1. ___end___ Mon Jun 16 19:06:42 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Mon Jun 16 19:19:39 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Mon Jun 16 19:20:52 GMT 2014 Going to blow the O1 off to see how that change the artifacts. ___end___ Mon Jun 16 19:32:57 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Mon Jun 16 19:37:30 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Mon Jun 16 19:38:11 GMT 2014 Rotating kcor o1 counter clockwise 60degrees to take out the 60 degree clockwise motion we put in at 18:50ut ___end___ Mon Jun 16 19:52:51 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Mon Jun 16 19:53:06 GMT 2014 We are seeing a lot more aerosols, sky brightness is now pretty night. ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Mon Jun 16 20:04:18 GMT 2014 Southern artifact seems to have moved back to its origional position.

After a long slog of trying to clean the new O1 with the normal soap and water method, I switched over to squirting isopropyl alchoal onto the lens which really cut through the reside. Now the lens is much cleaner, but still not quite as clean as I would like. I will bring up more isopropyl tomorrow and and maybe try to address the current O1 as well. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Jun 17 00:14:06 GMT 2014 Skies appear to be staying cloudy, we are headed down and will be back agian tomorrow. ___end___
