Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Sep 4 16:36:36 GMT 1994 Year: 94 Doy: 247 Observer: chu WEATHER COMMENT: Sun Sep 4 16:36:45 GMT 1994 Thin layer of cirrostratus extending across the sky from East to West. Cold, light wind from South. Temp 40F. Humidity 74%. Sun Sep 4 16:38:46 GMT 1994: Patrol Start COMMENT: Sun Sep 4 16:39:43 GMT 1994 Beginning observing day with MKIII and skytx domed out. COMMENT: Sun Sep 4 16:45:23 GMT 1994 Skytx has cleared dome wall. Sun Sep 4 17:00:04 GMT 1994: Calibration MKIII COMMENT: Sun Sep 4 17:07:57 GMT 1994 MKIII clear of dome wall now. COMMENT: Sun Sep 4 17:14:07 GMT 1994 Cirrus degrading both MKIII and Dpmon images. Sun Sep 4 18:03:02 GMT 1994: Calibration Sun Sep 4 19:00:02 GMT 1994: Calibration DPMON COMMENT: Sun Sep 4 19:27:17 GMT 1994 Configured the Dpmon to disk preferred mode. Sun Sep 4 20:00:01 GMT 1994: Calibration DPMON COMMENT: Sun Sep 4 20:00:31 GMT 1994 Cirrus continues to washout limb images. Disk images are still quite decent. Will leave Dpmon in disk preferred mode, until cirrus clears. COMMENT: Sun Sep 4 20:31:07 GMT 1994 Reconfigured the dome slot. DPMON COMMENT: Sun Sep 4 20:56:13 GMT 1994 Reconfigured Dpmon back to limb preferred mode for calibration. Sun Sep 4 21:00:06 GMT 1994: Calibration DPMON COMMENT: Sun Sep 4 21:05:46 GMT 1994 Returned the Dpmon to disk preferred mode. WEATHER COMMENT: Sun Sep 4 21:06:05 GMT 1994 Small patches of orographic clouds moving in from West. Will pass into FOV in a few minutes. Still in a solid layer of cirrus. No signs of a hole in any direction. Sun Sep 4 22:03:03 GMT 1994: Calibration DPMON COMMENT: Sun Sep 4 22:57:13 GMT 1994 Returned Dpmon to limb preferred mode. Sun Sep 4 23:00:03 GMT 1994: Calibration WEATHER COMMENT: Sun Sep 4 23:05:41 GMT 1994 Appear to be in the thinnest portion of cirrus so far today. Dpmon limb images are clear now. MKIII coronal scans still poor. P-S monitors still off scale. Mon Sep 5 00:00:03 GMT 1994: Calibration COMMENT: Mon Sep 5 00:29:45 GMT 1994 In a large orographic cloud. Cirrus has been present to varying degrees all day. No good coronal scans for the day. Will recycle the MKIII tape. Some decent disk images and a few good limb images for the Dpmon after 22:00UT. More good data unlikely for the remainder of the day. PAU. COMMENT: Mon Sep 5 00:34:33 GMT 1994 Activity Report: QP: 53-59; 89; 102; 113; 115-122; 310-315. No Coronal Observations.
