Tue Mar 2 20:11:46 GMT 1999 PICS Start Patrol PICS COMMENT: Tue Mar 2 20:14:53 GMT 1999 OK, PICS up and running. David still hasn't gotten by the problem of getting the Camera task to come up automatically at reboot. Not a big deal to load it each time we need to reboot as we do not reboot that often--just a matter of remembering to do it. David adjusted the exposures from yesterday's tests.

Disc image is very dark. Display gain set at 1. Changed gain to 4 and got a nice, but slightly dark disc image. gain of 8 was too hot. At gain of 4, limb image was too hot. Do not want to toy with exposures in $Bin/ProgramDefs unless there is prospect of good stretch of somewhat clear sky. COMMENT: Tue Mar 2 21:31:02 GMT 1999 Lost guiding, possibly declination reset. Repointed and reset dec.
