Found a couple odd things but neither seemed to be the actual source. 1) the Kapton tape that holds down the lyot filter started to become un-suck. Tape reapplied; but I think it was out of the beam so shouldn't have been an issue. 2) the occulter seemed a little lose on its occulter post. I think it was well aligned and and tight enough to not move. Occulter post tightened. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Nov 09 22:57:23 GMT 2018 ___end___ Sat Nov 10 01:09:46 GMT 2018 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited ONSITE STAFF: berkey
