----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Dec 13 17:07:44 GMT 1997 Year: 97 Doy: 347 Observer: koon WEATHER COMMENT: Sat Dec 13 17:07:52 GMT 1997 Scattered cirrus, wind=10 mph from the SSW, temp=40 F. PICS COMMENT: Sat Dec 13 17:08:21 GMT 1997 Can't get tape to load easily, this happens fairly often, have to keep recycling the tape drive power to get tape to eventually load.

PSPT COMMENT: Sat Dec 13 17:56:10 GMT 1997 Tried starting up the instrument, got "trouble communicating with PSPT" message in the window after typing in Run. Couldn't figure out how to recover so cycled the power to the Sparcstation.

Maybe related to another problem, when I started up this morning I had to rotate the dome manually to get to the shutter so I could open it, then when I plugged in the computer cable the dome would run away just like they told us, but I couldn't get it to stop by cycling the power to the box or to the blue rack. It would rotate until it got to the encoder reference point, then it would stop. Maybe that has something to do with the trouble the Sparcstation has communicating with the PSPT. I tried again to get the computer cable back into the box without the dome running away and pointing to the reference point but have not been able to do so yet.

I won't spend any more time on these problems until someone gets back to me about this. Until then I can't get any data.
