Guiding seems off in declination, repointed and reset the declination
guider to fix it.  It's looking good now.

Time is 11 seconds slow again.

PSPT COMMENT: Thu Jan 21 21:04:33 GMT 1999
So far all the images I've seen today look good, I haven't seen any 
darkened images like some from yesterday.
**LOW-L PROBLEM**: Thu Jan 21 21:10:28 GMT 1999
I'm working on the clock problem.  It was still 11 seconds slow today.
I stopped the program using "q" during the sync cycle.  Then did a CTRL-C
to stop the startup batch file.  The DOS clock was showing the same time as
the readout on the observing screen.  Then I checked the cts10 board time
and it also showed the incorrect time.
**LOW-L PROBLEM**: Thu Jan 21 21:33:22 GMT 1999
I checked the autoexec.bat file to see if there were any cts10 related
commands, I didn't see any, and when I tried to run autoexec with the
incorrect DOS time it started the observing program with the same
incorrect time.  I'm trying to find out why rebooting the computer
causes the observing program to start up with the correct time.  It 
doesn't look like it is caused by autoexec.bat.  I did see a cts10
command line in the config.sys file.  The weird thing about the autoexec
file was that the "lowl" command to start the observing program was
already commented out, the next line had the command "splat" and when
I commented that out then the observing program wouldn't be started
by autoexec.
**LOW-L PROBLEM**: Thu Jan 21 21:57:04 GMT 1999
When I try running "splat" it does everything like typing in "lowl"
except it is harder to exit from at the "sync" cycle because it keeps
trying to restart the lowl program.  So this solves the old mystery
of why I can easily stop observing and eject the tapes sometimes while
other times the program would try to restart and sometimes cause
problems.  It worked better if we were exiting from the observing
program that was brought up with the lowl command rather than the splat
command, everytime we cycled the power or rebooted that would cause
autoexec to use splat to start observing.

WEATHER COMMENT: Thu Jan 21 22:08:55 GMT 1999
A few small orographic clouds are passing by.
MKIII COMMENT: Thu Jan 21 22:10:28 GMT 1999
I'm not going to be able to do the Height Mask Test today due to lowl
problems.
**LOW-L PROBLEM**: Thu Jan 21 22:44:23 GMT 1999
The DEVICE = cts10.sys command line in config.sys apparently loads and
starts the cts10 driver, and that corrects the cts10 time.  I checked
the cts10 timelog and saw huge periods in which there is no WWVH signal
sync with the cts10 board, it is only in sync about one hour each day.
When it is out of sync its own on board clock drifts and that erroneous
time is being used to set the DOS clock.  So, if nothing else, we could
improve the lowl clock by restarting the cts10 driver more often, by
software if possible.

**LOW-L PROBLEM**: Thu Jan 21 23:20:59 GMT 1999
It was beginning to look very puzzling that the correct time was being
held somewhere on the cts10 board and could be accessed with a warm
reboot but couldn't be accessed by the fixtime.c program, but then
David just sent over a revised fixtime.c program.  The old program
wasn't getting the cts10 time correctly and this one was changed to
fix that, so hopefully this will fix the latest clock problem.
I'm going to install the new version and start it up.
**LOW-L PROBLEM**: Thu Jan 21 23:52:27 GMT 1999
OK, the program is back up and observing again.  I removed L00574 from
drive #0 and moved L00575 from #1 to #0 and installed L00576 in drive #1.
CHIP COMMENT: Fri Jan 22 00:01:30 GMT 1999
I accidentally left this running when I stopped the other instruments,
so there is no data on the end of this tape due to no Spar tracking.
