It was really hard to move the spar back into position until I moved it towards the East before aligning it, which makes me think that there are some cables that are tugging on the spar. Tracking again. And then we just lost the RA and just corrected itself. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Mon Jan 4 02:07:18 GMT 2016 Lost RA. the 'lost sgs' should've been RA. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Mon Jan 4 02:10:15 GMT 2016 Lost RA. Going to close up, put a couple more tarps in the doghouse upstairs and head out for the day since we're losing the RA within minutes of each now. Everything starts tomorrow! ___end___
