----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Nov 29 17:01:06 GMT 1997 Year: 97 Doy: 333 Observer: koon WEATHER COMMENT: Sat Nov 29 17:01:11 GMT 1997 Foggy, very rainy down the road, wind =5 mph from the SE, temp=35 F. PICS COMMENT: Sat Nov 29 17:04:11 GMT 1997 I'll work on the PICS optical stage translation problem while I wait to see if the weather will clear up. PICS COMMENT: Sat Nov 29 18:54:01 GMT 1997 Finished work on the optical stage. I replaced the small setscrew with a cap screw and used some liquid retaining compound to fix the stage leadscrew drive sprocket to the leadscrew so it won't slip any more. I left the covers open in case the compound gives off fumes that may be harmful to the optics, and so I can test the stage later. WEATHER COMMENT: Sat Nov 29 18:57:22 GMT 1997 Fog is still blowing over, probably won't observe today. COMMENT: Sat Nov 29 19:17:13 GMT 1997 Heading down to Hilo to take the GSA car into the shop, again, hopefully for the last time. Sat Nov 29 19:25:12 GMT 1997 MkIII
