Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Apr 22 17:04:53 GMT 1995 Year: 95 Doy: 112 Observer: koon console Apr 22 16:56 WEATHER COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 17:04:59 GMT 1995 Mostly clear with some scattered cirrus, wind=5 mph from the SE, temp=40 F. COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 17:06:07 GMT 1995 Took about 20 minutes to get the dPMon observing this morning. After taking a long time trying to login I rebooted and that took even longer. This is apparently related to an Internet problem with the router down at the NOAA office in Hilo, as is usually the case. LOW-L COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 17:48:59 GMT 1995 Removed L00222 and installed L00224 in drive #0. Shortly after doing that switch something odd happened, I found the tape in drive #1 popped out and data was being written to drive #0 (it was going to drive #1 this morning). Removed L00223 and installed L00225 in drive #1. Sat Apr 22 18:01:01 GMT 1995: Calibration COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 18:25:37 GMT 1995 CME in progress at PA=270, accompanied by a surge out to RV=1.1 MKIII COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 18:28:14 GMT 1995 Still getting streaks in the data but it seems to get better as time passes. MKIII COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 18:33:49 GMT 1995 I just cycled the Analog power while the scan was running (to save time) in an attempt to clear up the streaks. DPMON COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 18:48:56 GMT 1995 Had a Camera:Busy error, cleared it. MKIII COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 18:49:15 GMT 1995 Cycling the Analog power seemed to help eliminate the streaks. DPMON COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 18:50:05 GMT 1995 Optical runaway, fixed it. Sat Apr 22 18:51:04 GMT 1995: Patrol End MKIII COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 18:51:08 GMT 1995 Can't get through to HAO to send a CME Alert message using Internet, problem at NOAA office probably. Having trouble getting through on MODEM also.

COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 20:18:46 GMT 1995 Extended dome slot. Sat Apr 22 20:19:59 GMT 1995: Patrol End Sat Apr 22 20:20:30 GMT 1995: Patrol Start DPMON COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 20:20:32 GMT 1995 Had an optical runaway, fixed it. COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 20:21:24 GMT 1995 No sign of the CME, it has faded away. I'm still trying to get the modem to work so I can send out a CME alert message, when I start up tip and type 45 I should get a ! as a prompt, but I'm not getting it. I can call up and even hookup to HAO but I don't see any echo, which makes it impossible to get any further. DPMON COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 20:34:28 GMT 1995 Datstar filter runaway, fixing it. COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 20:36:12 GMT 1995 Fixed modem setting so that I get an echo and was able to hookup to HAO (I think) but all I got on the screen was a bunch of never ending scrolling jiberish. Connection was listed at 212 ( I think that should be 9600 baud). I`ll keep trying. Sat Apr 22 21:03:03 GMT 1995: Calibration COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 21:50:42 GMT 1995 OK, finally got through to HAO and sent out the CME alert message. I had to manually enter the desired telephone number by entering the following at the ! prompt: d18008776227 I will try to figure out how to change the stored number since it doesn't hook me up correctly. I'm not sure why the echo was set to OFF, but it is set correctly now. WEATHER COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 21:54:58 GMT 1995 Sky is getting very cloudy, will close down now. Sat Apr 22 21:56:06 GMT 1995: Patrol End COMMENT: Sat Apr 22 22:19:59 GMT 1995 Activity report: Large CME from 1815 or earlier to 2000 at PA=270, with associated surge in same area out to RV=1.15, CME alert message sent out but delayed due to network problem (probably at NOAA office in Hilo), start of observations also delayed due to the slowdown of Sparcstation login associated with network problem. QP: 73; 100; 133; 232. TAPES: ****** MKIII: H01015 DPMON: P00336 LOW-L: L00223 in drive #1 and L00224 in drive #0 due to odd change in where the data was being written by the program.
