When I tried to correct it, it would drift again. It felt like the gears were slipping, as if there was no grip or as if the clutch had been released. Held it on the Sun for about 15-20 seconds and it was able to guide again. Nothing was being pulled and the spar did not hit anything. Not too sure what happened. ___end___ Tue Jan 01 01:35:36 GMT 2019 KCOR End Patrol Tue Jan 01 01:36:17 GMT 2019 SGS Alignment complete Tue Jan 01 01:35:58 GMT 2019 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Tue Jan 01 02:47:47 GMT 2019 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Tue Jan 1 02:45:37 GMT 2019 Dome blocked kcor ___end___ Tue Jan 01 02:49:04 GMT 2019 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Tue Jan 01 02:53:46 GMT 2019 KCOR End Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Tue Jan 1 02:54:48 GMT 2019 Besides the wind this morning, it was a good day for data. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: waters
