I might try adjusting it from the back end, as there isn't enough leverage on the front anymore for me to move it safely. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Tue Jun 02 16:48:20 GMT 2020 Kcor above dome ___end___ Tue Jun 02 16:50:55 GMT 2020 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Tue Jun 02 16:53:14 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Tue Jun 02 18:57:10 GMT 2020 Going to postpone calibration as there seems to be something starting to happen at PA 90 or the Eastern limb. ___end___ Tue Jun 02 20:00:06 GMT 2020 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Tue Jun 02 20:00:59 GMT 2020 Clouds have popped up from the West.

Switching to open loop and closed loop seems wasn't fixing the problem. Went upstairs and rotated the dome a bit more South, as the wind is now coming from the East. Didn't quite fix it but after stablizing the spar with my hands, it seems to be doing okay. Will keep an eye on things. ___end___ GPS COMMENT by MLSO: Tue Jun 02 21:45:09 GMT 2020 Successfully logged in to system Good disk mount GPS software running Last 5 GPS data files are: /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_149_2145.bin 2147483647 /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_150_2145.bin 2147483647 /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_151_2145.bin 2147483647 /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_152_2145.bin 2147483647 /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_153_2145.bin 2147483647 ___end___ ****Possible CME in Progress waters**** : Tue Jun 02 22:10:56 GMT 2020 Possible CME seen launching near PA 90 starting at time 17:24:00UT. ___end___ GONG COMMENT BY waters: Tue Jun 02 22:12:04 GMT 2020 Went down to the GONG shelter and tied open the door as the temp_tbl was close to going red. ___end___ Tue Jun 02 22:48:46 GMT 2020 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Tue Jun 02 22:50:44 GMT 2020 Fog rolled in fast, moved the spar and dome is currently closing. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Wed Jun 03 00:27:44 GMT 2020 Fog is hanging out, no data this afternoon. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: waters
