Transmitted camera 13889 was replaced with 13890 Reflected camera 11461 was replaced with 13891. The only hitch we ran into was a cross threaded lens adaptor in the front of the reflected camera. Focus was farily straight forward with the help from Alfred. And to no ones supprise we are still seeing that abberation on the transmitted beam (likely related to the camera lens). ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Mon May 22 21:08:30 GMT 2017 Skies are still junk; but we are taking some bright data/calibrations to just see if the pipeline can handle the new cameras. With luck the skies may clear up later so we can try with data that will pass a GBU filter. ___end___ Mon May 22 21:21:13 GMT 2017 KCOR End Calibration Script KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Tue May 23 01:55:08 GMT 2017 Clouds never really cleared up but we got a bunch of funky data to shove though the pipeline for testings today. Hoefully tomorrow brings some data to really test out the system. ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Tue May 23 01:55:42 GMT 2017 Kcor O1 cover repair will have to wait a few days; turns out we didnt have the sandpaper I thought we did up here. ___end___
