The dome has been wired with 3 extra webcams so we might be able to capture the action. Unfortuanly the FOV of these cameras isn't at the fish eye level so it may not turn any to any good videos. But in testing I captured my last ever CoMP fill. A couple tables have been brough up from NOAA and CoMP related spares were brought out of storage. We shoudl be able to hit the ground running monday morning. Some down starts prep on cable orgranizing got started to get a head start on the rack cabling. Hopefully Lisa can capture a little more CoMP data this weekend before it ends its 8 years of service at MLSO ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey
