M1 has been cleaned with CO
a few times during this winter, in
particular after strong Calima. but it needs wet washing. This winter
some rain water found its way to the surface of M1, and it needs to be
cleaned. The degraded reflectivity is notable from the on-going ALFOSC
zero-point monitoring as well. The intention is to wash M1 in the near
future if weather allows.
