----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Jun 9 16:27:48 GMT 1998 Year: 98 Doy: 160 Observer: yasukawa WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Jun 9 16:29:21 GMT 1998 Cool, in heavy cirrus and altostratus overcast, guider not acquiring sun at this time, strong south wind. Tue Jun 9 16:30:23 GMT 1998 CHIP Startup--Initializing new tape MKIII COMMENT: Tue Jun 9 16:35:39 GMT 1998 *** Recycling H01841 *** WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Jun 9 16:38:24 GMT 1998 Guiding now marginal as overcast is thinning, a few holes may be possible. PSPT COMMENT: Tue Jun 9 17:35:14 GMT 1998 Haosheng modified focus routine, which is why focus was soft yesterday. Routine was compiled overnight. We are testing it in cloudy sky. PSPT COMMENT: Tue Jun 9 17:42:03 GMT 1998 Test of Run got to point of guider trying to find the sun to lock onto (in heavy overcast), which means the moddification worked OK. **CHIP PROBLEM**: Tue Jun 9 17:59:40 GMT 1998 CHIP crashed sometime. Spar not guiding due to thick clouds. Kill/Run to recover and standing by for restart. Tue Jun 9 19:31:28 GMT 1998 CHIP CHIP Start Patrol CHIP COMMENT: Tue Jun 9 19:34:02 GMT 1998 Test run of program. David was concerned that the new Velocity routine might have caused the crash earlier. Program got past the first Velocity routine so that allayed his concern. CHIP COMMENT: Tue Jun 9 19:53:08 GMT 1998 CHIP did crash again a few minutes after I wrote the previous log. Crashed with a time in the Program status button so it porbably occurred after the sync routine status. Alerted David via email. Killing to recover. Tue Jun 9 21:06:13 GMT 1998 CHIP CHIP Start Patrol WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Jun 9 21:06:21 GMT 1998 Thick altostratus breaking up and thinning enough to guide. Seeing what will run thru cirrus and broken altostratus. Tue Jun 9 21:09:23 GMT 1998 CHIP CHIP Start Patrol CHIP COMMENT: Tue Jun 9 21:15:09 GMT 1998 CHIP is running OK this time, David made no changes to software. PSPT COMMENT: Tue Jun 9 21:32:29 GMT 1998 Initial focus routine must've worked. Fired things up as overcast thinned and the initial images looked pretty good considering that there was still cirrus and altostratus up there. Altostratus got thicker and image softened up later on.
