----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun May 24 17:00:42 GMT 1998 Year: 98 Doy: 144 Observer: koon WEATHER COMMENT: Sun May 24 17:00:43 GMT 1998 Hazy sky, maybe this is smoke from some of those big forest fires along the Pacific Rim, wind=5 mph from the North, temp=48 F. Sun May 24 17:07:04 GMT 1998 MKIII Start Patrol Sun May 24 17:07:14 GMT 1998 CHIP CHIP Start Patrol Sun May 24 17:07:14 GMT 1998 CHIP CHIP Start Patrol PSPT COMMENT: Sun May 24 17:23:19 GMT 1998 The dome pointing ephemeirs has been temporarily removed from the observation program because it wasn't working properly due to the way the sun goes north of our lattitude during this time of year. Haosheng and I have a plan where the program will move the dome correctly for this time of year but he doesn't have time to implement it yet so we need to point the dome manually for a while. That shouldn't be too hard, it may be that we only need to move the dome once around noon and point it to the North. So when I started up I unplugged the computer cable to the dome controller, we should leave that unplugged until Haosheng makes the changes to the program. Then I pointed the dome to the sun, then I started the program using the Run command as usual. I also unplugged the dome shutter cable in anticipation of pointing the dome to the North later. PSPT COMMENT: Sun May 24 17:29:50 GMT 1998 The images look good, the PSPT is back in operation now.

Otherwise the observing program worked well after those dome control lines were commented out of the code.
