Expect a few of these will show up as bullet holes in the data. Not sure why these are sticking to the lens with both the old and new air guns; these are big enough that historically I think the air cleaning would remove these things. Have we just lost air pressure in the air gun over time? Or is the lens just better at capturing particles now? ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jul 25 17:24:11 GMT 2018 Windows open upstairs. ___end___ Wed Jul 25 17:29:32 GMT 2018 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Jul 25 18:26:20 GMT 2018 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jul 25 18:41:25 GMT 2018 Skies look closed out with cirrus for at least the next hour ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jul 25 19:59:17 GMT 2018 Not seeing bullet holes in the nrgf images like I would expect based on the dust seen on the O1. ___end___ Wed Jul 25 21:07:37 GMT 2018 SGS Alignment complete Wed Jul 25 21:11:01 GMT 2018 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Wed Jul 25 21:17:34 GMT 2018 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Jul 25 21:35:02 GMT 2018 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Jul 26 01:36:54 GMT 2018 Now a little foggy. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey
