----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Mar 1 18:26:24 GMT 1997 Year: 97 Doy: 060 Observer: koon Sat Mar 1 18:26:33 GMT 1997 CHIP Startup--Initializing new tape WEATHER COMMENT: Sat Mar 1 18:26:36 GMT 1997 Sky was partly cloudy but is now mostly clear, wind=5 mph from the South, temp=43 F. COMMENT: Sat Mar 1 18:27:39 GMT 1997 Since it was cloudy when I first arrived this morning I went straight to the GONG shelter to see if I could easily fix the instrument pointing problem that Dan notified us about yesterday. There appears to be a problem with the -15 vdc instrument control power supply. That will take a while to check out properly and since the clouds started clearing I came up to MLSO to get things going. I don't see any serious problems yet and no water leakage. I'll have to restart the Lowl however.
