----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Feb 25 18:39:19 GMT 2000 Year: 00 Doy: 056 Observer: yasukawa WEATHER COMMENT: Fri Feb 25 18:40:19 GMT 2000 Cool, in broken cirrus, strong southeast wind. Huge brushfire on east slope of Mauna Kea, heavy smoke across saddle. Fri Feb 25 18:41:31 GMT 2000 CHIP Startup--Initializing new tape Fri Feb 25 18:45:09 GMT 2000 PICS Start Patrol Fri Feb 25 18:45:15 GMT 2000 MKIV Start Patrol COMMENT: Fri Feb 25 18:45:23 GMT 2000 Late start, wife out of town, had to deliver kids to school at a decent hour before leaving for observatory. WEATHER COMMENT: Fri Feb 25 19:10:33 GMT 2000 still in thin cirrus. **PSPT PROBLEM**: Fri Feb 25 19:10:54 GMT 2000 Looked at waveform at U4, pin 11, Y-Drive output, on the mirror servo card. During active mirror vibration and fuzzy imaging, I saw a finely stepped (superimposed on top of) sinewave approximately 15-17 volt P-P, at around 20 ms. When the mirror stopped oscillating and operated normally, irregular sinewave appeared, approximately 1 volt peak, at around 100 ms. Will continue troubleshooting to determine if oscillation is coming from U4 or an input source to U4. This procedure is opportunistic as the oscillation is intermittent. **** EVENT COMMENT ****: Fri Feb 25 20:10:01 GMT 2000 Streamer with base at PA 45 appears to be expanding northward at its outer edges. COMMENT: Fri Feb 25 20:33:07 GMT 2000 PSPT demanded attention by losing guiding, meanwhile the main system spar declination reset itself. Caught it in good time, repointed spar and reset guider. WEATHER COMMENT: Fri Feb 25 20:53:17 GMT 2000 in thin cirrus **PSPT PROBLEM**: Fri Feb 25 20:55:04 GMT 2000 Guider keeps trying to drive spar away from sun, mostly in RA, toward west. Stopped obs. putting active mirror oscillation investigation on back burner for now, looking into guiding problem. Will try another gdr ephmcal. **CHIP PROBLEM**: Fri Feb 25 21:10:53 GMT 2000 I don't know how long CHIP was stalled at the usual place while I was working on PSPT stuff. Did a Cancel Wait to resume program. **PSPT PROBLEM**: Fri Feb 25 21:34:50 GMT 2000 Looking back thru tablet, problem may be due to continued lack of range on the declination limit ring. When I checked, it looked like there m be lots of range, but it may already have been driving off into never-never land, totally lost. **PSPT PROBLEM**: Fri Feb 25 21:44:14 GMT 2000 Pointed spar to sun with guider servo off, looks like I was correct in my first observation that there was plenty of room left on the declination limit ring so that was not the problem. WEATHER COMMENT: Fri Feb 25 22:03:43 GMT 2000 In cirrus **CHIP PROBLEM**: Fri Feb 25 22:04:20 GMT 2000 CHIP stalled again.... again while I was tending to PSPT!!! Cancelling Wait to resume.
