**LOW-L PROBLEM**: Sun May 23 17:52:40 GMT 1999
Program was crashed due to an apparent power outage yesterday afternoon.
I tried setting the autoexec back to the previous state where it would
automatically restart the program after a power outage and that worked
but I changed it back so that we have to manually restart the observing
program after doing the following test.  I cycled the power to the PC
while the program was running and data were going to each of the 2 drives
and found that we may lose quite a bit of data if we allow the autoexec
to restart lowl because it always tries to write to drive#0, so if the tape
on that drive already had data on it that data would be overwritten.
It seems better to possibly lose part of a day of data by having to 
manually restart the observing program than risk losing a week of data by
allowing the program to be automatically restarted.  Later when we put
the LOWL on the UPS then this won't be a problem at all.  I removed L00600
from drive #1 and put L00601 in drive #1 so that I can continue my test
to see if data will go to drive #0 without problems after the tape in
drive #1 is full.  I also installed L00602 in drive #0.
**MLSO PROBLEM**: Sun May 23 18:06:39 GMT 1999
Power outage yesterday, I had to log back into the GONG terminal and reset
the answering machine clock and restart LOWL.

Extended the dome slot.

**PSPT PROBLEM**: Sun May 23 20:20:51 GMT 1999
Finally found the PSPT manuals, someone put them in an unmarked folder and
up on a shelf when they moved around the LOWL stuff, I also located the
container of various PSPT things that was also moved to a strange place.
Installed the hose clamps and coolant that I bought yesterday in Hilo.
The first set of images look out of focus.
GONG COMMENT: Sun May 23 20:34:57 GMT 1999
Going down to the shelter to check on a weather chassis problem.
GONG COMMENT: Sun May 23 20:46:02 GMT 1999
Back from the shelter, all is well now I think.
**PSPT PROBLEM**: Sun May 23 20:46:39 GMT 1999
Stalled with a message about the dome position on the PC, it looks like
the program is still trying tomove the dome even though I asked Haosheng 
to remove the automation code and he said he did.  We can't use auto
dome pointing this time of year.  I'll check it out when I get a chance.

**PSPT PROBLEM**: Sun May 23 21:20:29 GMT 1999
OK, I think I found the problems that kept the program hung up while the
dome was supposed to be moving.  I commented out a line in two files.
**PSPT PROBLEM**: Sun May 23 21:36:40 GMT 1999
The Blue, Red, and Ca K images looked out of focus, but now the images
being used for the calibration look sharp.  I think every is OK again.

**PSPT PROBLEM**: Sun May 23 22:05:05 GMT 1999
Images look great, I don't know why the focus was off earlier.
PSPT COMMENT: Sun May 23 22:33:28 GMT 1999
I replaced the Declination limit sector ring with the new revised (larger)
ring.  It gives about 16 degrees extra range beyond what we need for year
round Dec guiding.  I aligned it with about 10 degrees extra on the North
limit side since we are only  about one month away from the Northern
extreme.  This should work, but if it doesn't we'll know by the end of
June.
