----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Apr 7 16:54:18 GMT 1999 Year: 99 Doy: 097 Observer: koon WEATHER COMMENT: Wed Apr 7 16:54:20 GMT 1999 Mostly clear sky, but slightly hazy, wind=5 mph from the South, temp=40 F. 7 17:00:19 GMT 1999 MKIII Start Patrol Wed Apr 7 17:00:30 GMT 1999 PICS Start Patrol Wed Apr 7 17:00:30 GMT 1999 PICS Start Patrol **PSPT PROBLEM**: Wed Apr 7 17:20:48 GMT 1999 Kept getting "guider not pointing at sun " error messages. The Dome was pointed at the the sun and the dust cap was open but the telescope wasn't pointed at the sun, it was pointed too far to the South. I tried using the Run command again. WEATHER COMMENT: Wed Apr 7 17:35:56 GMT 1999 The sky is very bright due to the haze, and some cirrus wisps are starting to pass by also. **PSPT PROBLEM**: Wed Apr 7 17:52:42 GMT 1999 Timeout counter just kept updating on the 3 exposure test, exited and tried Run again.

The QSUM=0 due to the mispointing. I manually pointed the telescope to the sun and the QSUM jumped up to 1600 where it should be, then the active mirror locked on the sun and data collection finally started.

It looks like we may need to do another one of those guider ephemeris calibrations. WEATHER COMMENT: Wed Apr 7 20:23:50 GMT 1999 Cirrus clouds are getting more numerous.
