Beginning observations.  MKIII and skytx have not cleared
the dome.  Will do so shortly.


DPMON COMMENT: Sun Aug  7 16:36:41 GMT 1994
Camera was stuck on busy.  Used DE's procedure
(Camera >> /dev/null &  then SendCameraCommand 1 1)
to solve the problem.


MKIII COMMENT: Sun Aug  7 16:49:36 GMT 1994
MKIII and skytx now clearing the dome. 


WEATHER COMMENT: Sun Aug  7 16:50:54 GMT 1994
Have been in a fair region of cirrostratus since start up.
Am unsure when it will pass.  Will continue data taking
in hopes that it will pass soon.

DPMON COMMENT: Sun Aug  7 18:06:59 GMT 1994
Filter run away.  Recycled the Plessy power to correct.  
Recycling Plessey power caused diffuser to run away.
Forced to stop patrol, go into manual mode, reset
objective, reset occulting, reset filter, and reset 
camera.  Restarted patrol.  Problem seems to have been 
resolved.


WEATHER COMMENT: Sun Aug  7 18:07:17 GMT 1994
In large patch of cirrus again.  Have been advised by EAY
to continue running even in patches of cirrus, to attempt
to retrieve a good scan in between clouds.  Data processing
personnel should see logs to find windows of clear sky.


WEATHER COMMENT: Sun Aug  7 18:16:43 GMT 1994
Clear of cirrus.

Have been in varying levels of cirrus since 18:30 UT.
Cirrus doesn't seem to be decreasing to the western
horizon. Likelyhood of get any decent scans for the
remainder of the day is poor.  Will end observing.
