Nothing (other then the floor) was under the ring when it fell so the only damage that occured was to the mounting bolt itself. It was noted during inspection of the dust cover, that when the O1 is installed the ring secured to the O1 and the rest of the dust cover is constrained from falling from the telescope. We also noted that the fit even with the failed glue is quite snug. Such that the instrument can be safely reassebled and operated as normal as long as the O1 is installed in the telescope. So the bolt was stragihtend and the instrument returned to operation with the requirement that we address permantly reattaching the 2 halfs of the dust cover at or before the next O1 removal from the telescpoe. ___end___ Sat Mar 25 00:06:25 GMT 2017 CoMP Restarted from pause Sat Mar 25 00:06:26 GMT 2017 COMP End Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Sat Mar 25 00:21:45 GMT 2017 Dome was closed about an hour ago due to elevated winds and clouds and things dont appear to be leaving.
