Year: 94  Doy: 277
Observer: koon

WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Oct  4 16:39:18 GMT 1994
Mostly clear sky with some scattered cirrus clouds, wind ~5 mph from the 
southeast, temp ~40 F.


LOW-L COMMENT: Tue Oct  4 16:44:25 GMT 1994
Started up on tape drive #0 which is the same one it finished a tape on last
night, I should have waited until today to change the tape from drive #0 so
the logic would work correctly and start writing data on drive #1.  To avoid
confusion I stopped the program and switched the tapes so the lowest numbered
tape would be in drive #0 and therefore it would be the first tape written to.
L00112 is in drive #0 and L00113 is in drive #1.

Tue Oct 4 16:50:50 GMT 1994: Patrol Start

DPMON COMMENT: Tue Oct  4 17:14:20 GMT 1994
Objective wheel is running away, pausing to manually reset.

DPMON COMMENT: Tue Oct  4 17:27:50 GMT 1994
Although I eliminated the uneven illumination through the Daystar filter
yesterday afternoon it is there this morning.  Rotating the bench doesn`t  
affect the illumination gradient on the disk so something is changing as
the spar rotates, maybe the coude mirror is at fault.  I'll keep an eye on
it to see if it will get better soon.

DPMON COMMENT: Tue Oct  4 18:57:36 GMT 1994
Illumination through the Daystar filter is still uneven, I'll try to make it
even for this time of day since this is when we get the best data.  Pausing
Patrol to work on Daystar and maybe O2A focusing.


DPMON COMMENT: Tue Oct  4 19:50:01 GMT 1994
Daystar fairly eveenly illuminated, will start focusing O2A.
Having lots of problems with optical wheel runaways, have been able to reset
them without problems.


WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Oct  4 20:29:46 GMT 1994
thin cirrostratus has moved in from the west.  A tsunami generated by the 8.2
R. earthquake (in Japan) is predicted to hit Kauai about now and should hit
the Big Island within 30 minutes.  Kona is predicted to be hardest hit, I
have a clear view of Kona from here so I'll check it out occasionally.


WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Oct  4 21:54:07 GMT 1994
Tsunami warning has been cancelled, no big waves have been reported.
