Now 12 minutes left of daylight before orbital night, checking into a problem guidewire on one of the array wings.

Think they will be happy as long as they are latched closed.  A bit of TLC on re-extension after relocation will probably do the trick.
You may be right, but it's good to have as much information as possible so they know what they're dealing with for future ops.

6 minutes to a night pass, 10 minutes left of KU coverage from TDRS West, expect a loss of picture when handover occurs to TDRS East unless we are lucky.

Not true, the IV crew can see it with binoculars.
