Distrotion grid put in. Cameras aligned in tip/tilt and focused. Took a few minutes of data with the distortion grid in.18:55:48-18:59:21 Grid was removed and winter occulter reinstalled. I think I breathed (a little heavy) into the occutler station when tryign to reinstall the occulter so we saw a watervapor film on the lens until that evaporated. NOTE: Both camera stages appear to be at the end of the vertical range of travel while apparently being too low relative to the beam. Not sure if this means the mounts were design/built incorrectly or if we have a misaglinemetn problem somewhere such that the beam coming out of the PBS is in the wrong place. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Mar 08 19:35:08 GMT 2019 Taking data. ___end___ Fri Mar 08 19:35:19 GMT 2019 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Mar 08 19:35:10 GMT 2019 ___end___ Fri Mar 08 20:13:49 GMT 2019 KCOR End Patrol Fri Mar 08 20:13:54 GMT 2019 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20171025.ini Fri Mar 08 20:29:53 GMT 2019 KCOR End Calibration Script Fri Mar 08 20:30:11 GMT 2019 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Fri Mar 08 20:30:14 GMT 2019 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Mar 08 22:04:43 GMT 2019 Starting to see some clouds in the S/SW.
