Looking at kcor pushed it enough close the shutter.

We spend this morning running with the spare SGS (chromag face).  And some external stiffners attached to the Kcor aft optics box.

It looks like the Kcor/Comp<-> SGS alignment drifted in a similar fashion to the forward mounted south face mounted SGS.  I was really hoping moving toward the middle of the spar would reduce some of this drift.

The kcor aft optics box stiffners did appear to offer some improvement to the CoMP<->Kcor alignment drift over the course of the day. This wasn't a perfect test as the stiffners weren't as stiff as  I would like and we aborted observing at a few hours early.  

For tomorrows observing the stiffners have been removed and we have reverted back to southface  SGS

Scot C also did some DHCP network tests today.  These test where dont on the observer laptops and didn't effect any of the science systems; but we got confusing results so all chanings were backed out.
