Checked Polarization: Mid, Bright Dark, Mid. SGS Guider Zero-Point Offsets; X(RA): -105, Y(Dec): 50 ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Sat Feb 13 18:37:54 GMT 2021 A large artifact is visible on Kcor image. I checked the 01 lens again and I saw a new artifact on the lens. After blowing off the lens I can still see that a couple of artifacts will not come off with the compressed air. The artifacts are located at approximately the 5:00 o'clock position when looking at the lens.The large artifact that I saw on the Kcor image has now gone away, so the lens blowing seems to have helped. ___end___ Sat Feb 13 20:01:53 GMT 2021 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20171025.ini Sat Feb 13 20:17:08 GMT 2021 KCOR End Calibration Script GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Sun Feb 14 00:08:43 GMT 2021 The weather is beginning to change with wisps of Cumulus and Altocumulus cumulus clouds forming and passing by over the observatory and viewing area. Aerosols have increase dramatically and the Kcor stand alone images have become over saturated. Light mist and precipitation can be felt in the wind outside.
