Subject:
GRW/TSI/M1 - Shadowband Misalignment
DataStreams:grwtsiskyimageM1.a1, grwtsiskycoverM1.b1, grwtsicldmaskM1.a1
Description:
The shadowband was intermittently misaligned and not completely masking the sun because 
the mirror became loose from the shaft while being polished. The shadowband was realigned 
on 1/14 but by 1/27 was again slightly misaligned. The instrument was reoriented with true 
north on 1/27 and the shadowband adjusted again on 1/31. The problem was corrected on 
2/2 when the mirror mounting was tightened and the shadowband realigned.
