Not too sure what caused it. Will keep an eye out. ___end___ Thu May 14 19:00:07 GMT 2015 KCOR End Patrol Thu May 14 19:00:08 GMT 2015 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20150323.ini Thu May 14 19:17:05 GMT 2015 KCOR End Calibration Script Thu May 14 19:17:24 GMT 2015 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu May 14 19:47:24 GMT 2015 CoMP Paused for clouds Thu May 14 19:47:47 GMT 2015 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Thu May 14 19:50:11 GMT 2015 Dome reconfigured and SGS readjusted. ___end___ Thu May 14 19:54:46 GMT 2015 CoMP Restarted from pause Thu May 14 19:58:42 GMT 2015 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu May 14 20:18:41 GMT 2015 KCOR End Patrol Thu May 14 20:20:24 GMT 2015 CoMP Paused for clouds Thu May 14 20:20:45 GMT 2015 CoMP Restarted from pause Thu May 14 20:20:45 GMT 2015 COMP End Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Thu May 14 20:19:26 GMT 2015 Clouds are coming up from everywhere. Comp, Kcor and Shabar idled. There seems to be some fog to the South of the building, closing the domes just in case. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Thu May 14 20:24:47 GMT 2015 Misting now. ___end___ PSPT COMMENT BY waters: Thu May 14 20:39:32 GMT 2015 When the startup script runs and the time out counter resets (goes to the next loop), the DOS machince gets a error that says ERROR[pspt]: unrecognizable command [p]. Then it tries to take another exposure. Then it just keeps repeating. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Thu May 14 20:55:16 GMT 2015 Seems the clouds have backed off a bit but it still feels a bit moist outside. Will wait a bit to see if the mist dissipates. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Thu May 14 21:23:24 GMT 2015 Mist has left but now there are a few wispy clouds crossing overhead. Once they pass and assuming the cloud banks to the East and West don't come any closer, I should be able to start up again soon. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Thu May 14 21:31:38 GMT 2015 Fog coming in a bit fast from the East, keeping domes closed... ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Thu May 14 21:42:12 GMT 2015 Wet fog has rolled in. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Thu May 14 23:35:12 GMT 2015 Let there be rain. ___end___
