Cirrus currently in the East-Southeast.

Going to try starting up instruments. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Fri Aug 4 19:42:05 GMT 2017 Spoke too soon, cirrus is back. There seems to be a lot of dust falling into the dome, so I closed the dome again and blew off both the Kcor and Comp lenses again. ___end___ Fri Aug 04 20:47:04 GMT 2017 SGS Alignment complete Fri Aug 04 20:50:14 GMT 2017 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Fri Aug 04 20:52:42 GMT 2017 CoMP occulter has been re-centered Fri Aug 04 20:54:22 GMT 2017 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: synoptic-00010.cbk Fri Aug 04 20:55:44 GMT 2017 CoMP Paused for clouds GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Fri Aug 4 20:53:32 GMT 2017 Sky looks clear but is too bright to take any data. ___end___ Fri Aug 04 21:02:06 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Fri Aug 04 21:01:13 GMT 2017 CoMP Restarted from pause Fri Aug 04 21:06:23 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol Fri Aug 04 21:06:08 GMT 2017 CoMP Paused for clouds GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Fri Aug 4 21:03:02 GMT 2017 Cirrus passing through, instruments idled for now. ___end___ Fri Aug 04 21:09:25 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Fri Aug 04 21:08:32 GMT 2017 CoMP Restarted from pause Fri Aug 04 21:30:50 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol Fri Aug 04 21:30:16 GMT 2017 CoMP Paused for clouds GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Fri Aug 4 21:27:57 GMT 2017 Cirrus passing through, instruments idled. ___end___ Fri Aug 04 22:12:04 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Fri Aug 04 22:11:18 GMT 2017 CoMP Restarted from pause Fri Aug 04 22:13:57 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol Fri Aug 04 22:13:06 GMT 2017 CoMP Paused for clouds Fri Aug 04 22:17:32 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Fri Aug 04 22:16:40 GMT 2017 CoMP Restarted from pause Fri Aug 04 22:22:50 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol Fri Aug 04 22:22:29 GMT 2017 CoMP Paused for clouds GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Fri Aug 4 22:19:27 GMT 2017 In and out of cirrus with some orographic clouds coming in from the Southwest. ___end___ Fri Aug 04 23:21:26 GMT 2017 CoMP Restarted from pause Fri Aug 04 23:21:26 GMT 2017 COMP End Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Fri Aug 4 23:24:59 GMT 2017 Was able to get a little bit of data but otherwise not a very good day.
