Seems to balance now. Not sure why we were out of balance. ___end___ Fri Nov 16 02:07:17 GMT 2018 SGS Alignment complete GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Nov 16 02:29:10 GMT 2018 Werid day. In and out of cirrus all day. I also assume they kcor pipeline may be fairly unhappy today becasue data was not copied to kodiak in the proper order and I forgot to take a calibration sequence. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey
