Contrast was put high on the Kcor quick look to see clouds/cirrus and mechanisms in the beam better. Sorry for not understanding Ben. And thank you for your patience with me. ___end___ Sat Jul 25 19:26:47 GMT 2020 KCOR End Patrol Sat Jul 25 19:26:48 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20171025.ini Sat Jul 25 19:42:02 GMT 2020 KCOR End Calibration Script Sat Jul 25 19:42:18 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Sat Jul 25 19:42:18 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Sat Jul 25 22:48:49 GMT 2020 Marc greased the dome rotating track by applying lithium grease as the dome rotated a full 360. ___end___ Sat Jul 25 23:30:44 GMT 2020 KCOR End Patrol Sat Jul 25 23:30:57 GMT 2020 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Sat Jul 25 23:31:13 GMT 2020 Clouds coming in from the East, Kcor stopped. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Sat Jul 25 23:37:22 GMT 2020 Fog coming in from the West, closing the dome ___end___ Sun Jul 26 00:05:53 GMT 2020 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Sun Jul 26 00:10:02 GMT 2020 Kcor crashed when restarted.
