Wouldn't recover unless physically moved back into the Suns' path. Went upstairs and moved back in. Took Allens' advice and put a small weight on the far end of the weight arm. There were two weights, I have put the lighter one on. We will see if this helps with the RA slipping. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Thu Nov 07 22:51:30 GMT 2019 Some wisps passing, will keep an eye on things. ___end___ Thu Nov 07 23:07:02 GMT 2019 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Thu Nov 07 23:08:00 GMT 2019 Clouds have come up, kcor stopped ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Thu Nov 07 23:37:06 GMT 2019 Clouds look a little low, closing the dome just in case ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Fri Nov 08 01:54:51 GMT 2019 A fair amount of data in the morning, aerosols got heavy pretty fast early on and then clouds rolled in for the afternoon. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: stueben, waters
