Astronomer's Report

Nora Swisher
Diane, Erick, Nora, and the film crew took an early evening trip to the observatory tonight. We took pictures of the opening mechanism of the dome and the closing mechanism. From the picture you can see the foam hanging off of the opening. More details in Erick's engineering report.
We wanted to try aligning (maybe on a mountain peak, Erick's suggestion), but it was cloudy. We will keep an eye on the skies in hopes of going back out later.
We also took a picture of where we moved the box of spare parts as requested.
