UPS never switched over to battery backup and all attached computers shutdown including mlsosever. For the last 45(ish) minutes mlsoserver has been doing a pre-boot disk check and we have been unable to observe with kcor. As such we switch over to some dome electrical work and will not be able to get back on sky until the work has concluded. As far as I can tell all systems are back online now. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jan 22 01:59:24 GMT 2016 New dome rotator system mounted and working in Manual control. We will mount the auotmatic sensors tomorrow. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jan 22 02:00:35 GMT 2016 Contractors up today added first layer of roofing to the PSPT area roof. More layers to come tommorrow and over over the next week or so. It should never ever ever leak again. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jan 22 02:17:53 GMT 2016 Spar rebalanced today. It was found to have a farily strong dec inbalance and a slightly RA imbalance. Afterward we added a cable for the dome autorotator junction box so we should problally double check tomorrow but things should be a lot closer then they were this morning. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Jan 22 02:17:53 GMT 2016 ___end___
