The light came on so I started the Close Loop again. Once the Dec started tracking on Close Loop the Home light went out again. I just let it continue tracking. ___end___ Sat Aug 29 17:21:05 GMT 2020 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Sat Aug 29 17:22:18 GMT 2020 Shabar and K-cor started. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Sat Aug 29 17:23:58 GMT 2020 GONG shack door open. ___end___ Sat Aug 29 18:56:39 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20171025.ini Sat Aug 29 19:11:50 GMT 2020 KCOR End Calibration Script GPS COMMENT by MLSO: Sat Aug 29 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_237_2145.bin 2147483647 /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_238_2145.bin 2147483647 /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_239_2145.bin 2147483647 /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_240_2145.bin 2147483647 /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_241_2145.bin 2147483647 ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Sat Aug 29 23:22:20 GMT 2020 Adjusted occulter position. ___end___ Sat Aug 29 23:22:54 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Sun Aug 30 02:32:41 GMT 2020 Closed GONG shack door. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Sun Aug 30 02:33:09 GMT 2020 Closed dome shutter doors and windows. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Sun Aug 30 02:33:32 GMT 2020 Beautiful clear blue skies all day. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: mcotter
