It is currenlty stored in the cleaning fixuture on the flow bench down stairs. -With the dust cover and O1 removed the spar feels a bit out of balance; not enough to overcome the clutches but likly enough that we wont beable to guide and run CoMP until these parts are installed. -The telescope tube and fore-optics boxes have been covered with lint free wipers to prevent material from blowing in. -Dust cover is current down stairs and the small space heater to keep it warm all night and hopefully help the epoxy with setting. The Dust cover can be reinstalled once the witness epoxy has harded and no longer has any odor. While reinstaling the the cover should be put on the telescope before installing the O1. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Sat May 27 01:41:27 GMT 2017 Bit of fog and rain this afternoon. ___end___
