GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Feb 17 21:56:22 GMT 2022
PM Washed Kcor O1.

On inspection of the Kcor O1 20:30UT,  it was found that the O1 had a drip feature on the back side.  The front side of the O1 was rinsed with water.  And the back side was washed with soap and water.  Looks like we were able to remove the drip mark.

O1 was reinstalled in in its mount 45 degrees CW of the nominal position (45 degree CCW of were we put it yesterday).

Before washing the O1:
The spot light lamp was disassembled and the optics where cleaned to remove some of the haze that got deposited on the lens due to the high heat.  This may be something we have to do from time to time as todays cleaning saw more haze deposited on the lens.   It seems like the lamp cleaning helped increase increase the intensity; but even with this maintain it seemed difficult to see the artifacts on the O1.  It is unclear what changed over since we first got the lamp; because it seemed easier to spot issues back then.

****EVENT COMMENT BY berkey**** : Thu Feb 17 23:53:26 GMT 2022
Eruptive prominence seen moving above the solar disk near PA50 during the duration of kcor observations.  Initially it appears to be a wide jet but later observations seem to suggest the material fell back to the disk.
