I thought it should be starting a Flatfield?? Oh well, I'll wait for 1917 and see what it does.

I'll let it run for a while to see if Flatfielding starts up at another time while I do other tasks. If not, I'll stop the daily obs and start a flatfield sequence from the gui to check on the cap of Alice.

Not restarting mk4--in cirrus. PSPT COMMENT: Tue Jul 2 19:37:18 GMT 2002 The manual calibration (flatfield) I did earlier cancelled the auto-cal. Alice has info about why the cap was open during the Cak and Red sequences in the cal so we'll not stop observations to re-do the calibration manually. She will restore normal calibrations for tomorrow. WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Jul 2 19:41:01 GMT 2002 Orographic clouds forming around station. WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Jul 2 20:18:46 GMT 2002 In orographic clouds. PSPT COMMENT: Tue Jul 2 20:18:59 GMT 2002 Stopped observations.
