Adjusted diameter of Lyot stop to block inner bright ring. Marked location of iris arm with sharpie and covered with Kapton tape. Started taking coronal sequence (dark, flats and corona) with 7 wavelengths, but observation was hampered by clouds coming in. Maybe some good data there. Re-activated software for safety shutter lockout. Tested and adjusted arm on safety switch on occulter stage. Now working. RTD sensing temperature of the filter wheel still not working. Removed FW RTD from A0 slot and put rack temperature in A0. Only polling 9 sensors now. Need to send new rtd sensor for filter wheel. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY lisapg: Wed May 26 23:01:04 GMT 2021 Morning started off bright but the cleared enough to take data. Unfortunately the aerosols got a bit heavy early on and then clouds moved in. Hope tomorrow is a better day. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey, lisapg, tomczyk
