Here's to hoping tomorrow will be clear. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Mon May 21 23:26:39 GMT 2018 SGS seems to be drifting a bit when it's in standby. When the dec is homed and the LED is lite green, after some time has passed (most recent, about 20 seconds) the light turns off and it needs to be homed again. This has happened in the last five minutes; I've homed it three times now, with the LED lit but then it tunrs off. Will have to wait for overlap to address the issue. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: waters
