Added a number to the field and then hit enter, which caused the spar to move off the Sun. Was able to change the number back but not before Kcor closed its len cover. Off the engineering tab and have clicked out of the GUI just in case. ___end___ Fri Dec 29 21:11:40 GMT 2017 COMP End Patrol Fri Dec 29 21:11:34 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol Fri Dec 29 21:13:11 GMT 2017 SGS Alignment complete Fri Dec 29 21:13:14 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Fri Dec 29 21:13:57 GMT 2017 CoMP occulter has been re-centered Fri Dec 29 21:13:59 GMT 2017 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: waves-00003.cbk GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Fri Dec 29 21:48:02 GMT 2017 The nitrogen cyclinders were not replenished this week and we are almost running on empty. There was enough to fill the dewar today and Greg helped me locate some extra that NOAA had around. There is a medium size dewar in the NDSC building by the entrance that NOAA is willing to let us use until the next nitrogen delivery comes in. Hopefully it will last us. Thank you Greg! ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Fri Dec 29 22:14:24 GMT 2017 Just got a call from Greg, the nitrogen delivery guys are on there way up.
