Installed UCoMP filterwheel. Some creativity was needed with the fasteners to install the FW with the modulator and lyot filter installed. We are now using 2 screws to attach the SX wheel to the HAO mounting block and one of the screws had to be cut short to fit. The cut screw is very difficult to tighten. Further cabling on the standa stages and piggy back encolsure. ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY Observer: Mon Jan 11 23:53:50 GMT 2021 Window between clouds looked to short to run a focus routine. Taking an approx focus position from yesterdays fits headers. ___end___ Mon Jan 11 23:56:07 GMT 2021 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Mon Jan 11 23:59:57 GMT 2021 KCOR End Patrol Tue Jan 12 00:00:06 GMT 2021 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY Observer: Tue Jan 12 02:59:55 GMT 2021 Mostly overcast all day.
