I looked at the camera link cables in the instrument sound the Cameralink extender->Camera cable had a slightly bit of play (not loose but like almost loose) so I hvae replaced that cable with a spare that is now well seated. I dont hvae a lot of confidence that this fixed the problem. But I think we should try to run a few days/weeks to see if it comes back. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jan 08 22:45:47 GMT 2020 Sky is clearing goign to try to take some data. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jan 08 22:46:46 GMT 2020 PM Blew off Kcor O1 Windows not opened up stairs and shutter is open to small/minimum apature to allow for quick closing in case clouds come back. ___end___ Wed Jan 08 22:49:24 GMT 2020 SGS Alignment complete Wed Jan 08 22:54:07 GMT 2020 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Thu Jan 09 00:20:27 GMT 2020 SGS Alignment complete Thu Jan 09 00:21:09 GMT 2020 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Thu Jan 09 00:23:53 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu Jan 09 01:37:40 GMT 2020 KCOR End Patrol Thu Jan 09 01:37:51 GMT 2020 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Jan 09 01:46:43 GMT 2020 Fog blowing in from the east again. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Jan 09 01:58:49 GMT 2020 Cloud bank spent most of the day hovering just to the east of the observatory.
