Got an O1 focus at 134.21 mm. Then took the ND filter out and tried to focus Kcor manually. Drove it till it was just out of focus on both sides and then went to the middle ground. I found it at 134.19mm. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Fri Apr 07 18:22:14 GMT 2017 The bullet wholes in the data appear to be gone. This mornings work paid off.

At 19:47 UT, a prominence shoots up and then collapse back down almost immediately. Can be seen in GONG. At PA 90, around 17:28 UT, it looks like a part of the corona is expanding. It's hard to explain and also hard to see what may be going on since the areosols started early today. Can be seen in Kcor. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Sat Apr 08 00:23:54 GMT 2017 Looks like the areosols are clearing just a little bit. ___end___ Sat Apr 08 00:53:14 GMT 2017 COMP End Patrol Sat Apr 08 00:53:20 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol Sat Apr 08 00:54:55 GMT 2017 SGS Alignment complete Sat Apr 08 00:54:32 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Sat Apr 08 00:55:03 GMT 2017 CoMP occulter has been re-centered Sat Apr 08 00:55:05 GMT 2017 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: waves-00001.cbk Sat Apr 08 02:22:42 GMT 2017 COMP End Patrol Sat Apr 08 02:22:52 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol
