MKIII COMMENT: Wed Sep 14 21:01:30 GMT 1994 BUG removed most of the effects of the wisp of cloud that tainted 2032 scan. Putting that into HISTORY. Will check after next good day of data is saved whether the scan should be left in the database or not. WEATHER COMMENT: Wed Sep 14 21:29:36 GMT 1994 In heavy orographic clouds and occasional fog. Shut down dome to protect the instruments. Control room systems on stand-by. COMMENT: Wed Sep 14 21:48:06 GMT 1994 Talked to Fisher earlier this morning and gave him the bad news that chances for obs today looked mighty slim. He just called back very excited that our persistence paid off and we managed to get him an NMAP for today. The Houston crew got very excited when our FAX arrived.
