Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Nov 22 17:03:13 GMT 1994 Year: 94 Doy: 326 Observer: koon WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Nov 22 17:03:18 GMT 1994 Scattered cirrus, wind 5 mph from the south, temp=38 F. DPMON COMMENT: Tue Nov 22 17:10:06 GMT 1994 Instrument is down due to tape drive problems, no data will be taken but I'll run it in manual mode to monitor the sun. MKIII COMMENT: Tue Nov 22 17:11:30 GMT 1994 Need a couple more minutes before it can see over the dome wall. COMMENT: Tue Nov 22 18:18:35 GMT 1994 Aligned GONG instrument yesterday afternoon and this morning. Declination now appears to be set correctly (it was close before), but RA varies a bit due to looseness at the RA pivot point for the instrument head and from the imbalance of the telescope when positioned to avoid contact with the mount. I'll see if this can be improved. COMMENT: Tue Nov 22 18:39:07 GMT 1994 Slid GONG instrument tube in its mount to give a better balance in hopes of improving the RA tracking. This position requires that we readjust the tube position around the time of the vernal equinox to avoid interference as we adjust the instrument for declination. Maybe at that time we could attach some weights to the tube near the objective to achieve the desired balance. The instrument requires special tools to take apart in order to work on the RA looseness so I'll try this first. WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Nov 22 19:32:18 GMT 1994 Altocumulus clouds are getting thicker. WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Nov 22 21:14:41 GMT 1994 Sky has cleared up, I was able to get a MKIII calibration. WEATHER COMMENT: Wed Nov 23 00:27:28 GMT 1994 Starting to get some thin cirrus. COMMENT: Wed Nov 23 01:27:43 GMT 1994 Activity report: QP: 112; 135; 233; 260; 285. No coronal activity. TAPES: ****** MKIII: H00892 DPMON: Not operated due to tape drive problem.
