This included the 2 hemishpehre gaskets on the moving caddy, and the complete annulus gasket that is attached to the back end of the fore-optics enclosure. All 3 parts showed some damage, but I think most of the damaged sections where situated where all/most of the partciles that could become dislodged in the damaged would end up outside of the telescope tube. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: berkey: Thu Oct 10 02:23:13 GMT 2019 Looks like it wont clear up today. T-stroms in the forecast for tomorrow. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey, waters
