This has happened before so to remedy this from happening again I removed all the old tape that had been holding it in place and drilled and screwed it into place. I then taped over the screw holes and flange seam. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Tue Aug 09 17:15:12 GMT 2022 The window were left closed at this time due to gusty winds from the southeast. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Tue Aug 09 17:15:24 GMT 2022 PM Blew off Kcor Field Lens ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Tue Aug 09 17:15:31 GMT 2022 PM Blew off Kcor O1 ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Tue Aug 09 17:15:39 GMT 2022 PM Blew off UCoMP O1 ___end___ Tue Aug 09 17:17:47 GMT 2022 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Tue Aug 09 17:19:15 GMT 2022 An attempt was made to run the Kcor focus routine but as noted earlier the sky is much too bright to operate the instruments at this time. ___end___ Tue Aug 09 19:10:41 GMT 2022 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Tue Aug 09 19:41:08 GMT 2022 The Kcor focus routine was run and though the sky is bright a well shaped parabola was obtained.
