Tried to open the bottom shutter again but the gusts were making it hard as the cable was loose as it opened and would have gotten tangled. By the time I closed the bottom shutter again, K-Cor had cleared the top. Back up and running again. ___end___ Tue Jan 01 20:10:21 GMT 2019 KCOR End Patrol Tue Jan 01 20:10:22 GMT 2019 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20171025.ini Tue Jan 01 20:25:38 GMT 2019 KCOR End Calibration Script Tue Jan 01 20:25:55 GMT 2019 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Tue Jan 01 20:25:56 GMT 2019 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Tue Jan 01 20:51:35 GMT 2019 KCOR End Patrol Tue Jan 01 20:52:13 GMT 2019 SGS Alignment complete Tue Jan 01 20:51:54 GMT 2019 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Tue Jan 01 21:39:38 GMT 2019 KCOR End Patrol Tue Jan 01 21:40:09 GMT 2019 SGS Alignment complete Tue Jan 01 21:39:49 GMT 2019 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Tue Jan 01 22:15:37 GMT 2019 KCOR End Patrol Tue Jan 01 22:16:15 GMT 2019 SGS Alignment complete Tue Jan 01 22:15:55 GMT 2019 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Tue Jan 01 23:40:44 GMT 2019 KCOR End Patrol Tue Jan 01 23:41:24 GMT 2019 SGS Alignment complete Tue Jan 01 23:41:06 GMT 2019 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Jan 02 00:23:48 GMT 2019 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Wed Jan 2 00:25:21 GMT 2019 Another good day to take data; wind died down shortly after the Sun rose above the dome but gusts kept me on my toes.
