Electric rough in progressed still a little more to go. ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Jan 07 02:19:57 GMT 2016 Kcor O1 washed. Building was deemed to dusty so a tempoary work station was setup in another building. Spar protection was removed. And instrument apears to be operation. However images are washed out due to cirrus so no corona today. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Jan 07 02:49:23 GMT 2016 Main dome door happears to have suffered a bit this week with all the extra activity. I was unable to proplery close it becaue the inner core has become unattached from the rest frame. I eventually got it closed and was able to secure it shut with a lot of force and a wedge. But I think we should not enter the upstairs again until a replacment door is on site. ___end___
