Some cirrus on the Eaastern and Northern horizon, with a little bit in the Suns' path. Otherwise, it's clear overhead. Hopefully the cirrus will pass and we'll be able to take some data! Boardwalk had some frosty planks and the road as well but not too bad. ___end___ GONG COMMENT BY waters: Wed Dec 21 17:19:43 GMT 2016 Gong has been unstowed. ___end___ Wed Dec 21 17:54:28 GMT 2016 SGS Alignment complete Wed Dec 21 17:55:16 GMT 2016 CoMP occulter has been re-centered Wed Dec 21 17:55:19 GMT 2016 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Wed Dec 21 17:58:43 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: synoptic-00007.cbk GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Wed Dec 21 18:00:55 GMT 2016 There is just enough cirrus covering the Sun for Kcor to take reasonable data but Comop looks fine.
