Looks like one of the 2 actions worked, trying to look at the raw images to see if the polarization goes away before I stick my head/air tool in the beam. ___end___ Thu Nov 12 20:28:23 GMT 2020 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Thu Nov 12 20:30:19 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu Nov 12 20:33:20 GMT 2020 KCOR End Patrol Thu Nov 12 20:33:20 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20171025.ini Thu Nov 12 20:48:36 GMT 2020 KCOR End Calibration Script Thu Nov 12 20:48:52 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu Nov 12 20:48:52 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GPS COMMENT by MLSO: Thu Nov 12 21:45:11 GMT 2020 Successfully logged in to system Good disk mount GPS software running Last 5 GPS data files are: /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_313_1713.bin 2147483647 /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_314_1713.bin 2147483647 /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_315_1713.bin 2147483647 /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_316_1713.bin 2147483647 /mnt/usb/dataoutiq_2020_317_1713.bin 660983736 Disk usage: /dev/sda1 916.9G 225.9G 644.4G 26% /mnt/usb ___end___ Thu Nov 12 21:45:18 GMT 2020 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Thu Nov 12 21:47:03 GMT 2020 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Nov 12 22:35:37 GMT 2020 pullled the kcor o1 for cleaning ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Nov 13 01:11:13 GMT 2020 First contact material not setting as quick as I would have hoped, based on current trend I expect it will take at least 3 more hours to cure, based on this I plan to let it set overnight. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey
