The only thing I can come up with was a sort occulting due to the lower shutter wires, I am not totally convinced by this explaniation but I dont have anything better. Just to be sure I rotated the dome to better match the spar pointing. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Sat Jan 16 02:25:51 GMT 2016 TIDDBIT antenna wires brought in through the new cable managment system. TIDBBIT should be back online and working again. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Sat Jan 16 02:27:57 GMT 2016 woops getting a spar osscilation. ___end___ Sat Jan 16 02:28:20 GMT 2016 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Sat Jan 16 02:41:46 GMT 2016 Looks like the RA clutch was slipping alot. I *think* this is due to a DEC mis-balance; which "looks" a little like an RA issue when we are early or late. I found the DEC tool this morning and look forward to trying to balance the whole system properly when we get two people on the mountain next week while brandon is out. ___end___
