CoMP UPS then shut down, most likely due to me trying to change the front led to show the voltage and freq. I had closed the K-Cor lens cover when the alarm first sounded. It's powered back on and wew are bringing back up K-Cor. K-Cor UPS is also still on the frizt from this weekend. ___end___ Mon Aug 13 20:57:48 GMT 2018 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Mon Aug 13 21:09:53 GMT 2018 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Mon Aug 13 21:14:09 GMT 2018 SGS Alignment complete Mon Aug 13 21:14:12 GMT 2018 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Mon Aug 13 21:26:20 GMT 2018 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Mon Aug 13 21:29:22 GMT 2018 Clouds coming up from the West-Southwest. instruments idled ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Mon Aug 13 22:00:19 GMT 2018 Fog around the building, dome closed ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Tue Aug 14 00:35:01 GMT 2018 Greased and lubed the bottom part of the dome. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Tue Aug 14 01:03:35 GMT 2018 Thunder to the NE ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey, waters
