The sky is clear at present but the wind seems to be blowing a bit harder then whats indicated. I think I'll wait a bit for the wind to settle before opening the dome. ___end___ Fri Oct 14 17:47:24 GMT 2016 SGS Alignment complete GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Fri Oct 14 17:48:10 GMT 2016 Wind has clamed down a bit, opening dome and starting instruments.

Less spar shake but hopefully the wind won't climb any higher. ___end___ Fri Oct 14 20:26:03 GMT 2016 KCOR End Calibration Script Fri Oct 14 20:26:20 GMT 2016 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Fri Oct 14 20:26:21 GMT 2016 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Fri Oct 14 20:28:24 GMT 2016 SGS Alignment complete Fri Oct 14 20:31:57 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Fri Oct 14 20:31:57 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: waves-00001.cbk Fri Oct 14 20:58:24 GMT 2016 SGS Alignment complete Fri Oct 14 22:04:32 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Fri Oct 14 22:04:33 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: synoptic-00007.cbk Fri Oct 14 22:33:24 GMT 2016 SGS Alignment complete Sat Oct 15 00:34:30 GMT 2016 SGS Alignment complete Sat Oct 15 00:34:59 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Sat Oct 15 00:36:06 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: synoptic-00007.cbk GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sat Oct 15 00:36:12 GMT 2016 Comp occulter adjusted. ___end___ Sat Oct 15 01:52:14 GMT 2016 KCOR End Patrol Sat Oct 15 01:52:51 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sat Oct 15 01:57:34 GMT 2016 Ben called and said it was alright to open up the box that was delivered.
