Inital results suggest we removed the race condition in the fits update :) Before the sun comes up today I will be taking another round or two of closed dome closed lens cover 22.5 degree calibrations to build up the test cases. ___end___ Wed Oct 09 16:39:01 GMT 2013 KCOR End Calibration Script Wed Oct 09 16:40:58 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Calibration script: C:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg.ini Wed Oct 9 16:56:45 GMT 2013: PSPT Start Patrol Wed Oct 09 17:02:51 GMT 2013 KCOR End Calibration Script Wed Oct 09 17:13:39 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Calibration script: C:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg.ini Wed Oct 09 17:35:20 GMT 2013 KCOR End Calibration Script GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Oct 9 18:33:49 GMT 2013 Large sucker hole now, attempting to start coronal observations ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Oct 9 18:38:06 GMT 2013 Nevermind clouds again ___end___ Wed Oct 09 18:43:15 GMT 2013 COMP Start Patrol Wed Oct 09 18:49:45 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Oct 9 18:49:49 GMT 2013 Clear again ___end___ Wed Oct 09 18:59:06 GMT 2013 KCOR End Patrol Wed Oct 09 18:59:07 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Calibration script: C:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg.ini Wed Oct 09 19:20:52 GMT 2013 KCOR End Calibration Script Wed Oct 09 19:21:12 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Oct 9 19:37:50 GMT 2013 Some of the fits keywords assoicated with the calibrations are being set wrong. fixing now ___end___ Wed Oct 09 19:44:19 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Calibration script: C:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg.ini Wed Oct 09 20:06:42 GMT 2013 KCOR End Calibration Script Wed Oct 09 20:12:24 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Oct 09 20:15:46 GMT 2013 KCOR End Patrol Wed Oct 09 20:15:53 GMT 2013 COMP End Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Oct 9 20:16:39 GMT 2013 sucker hole closed, idling coronal measurements. ___end___ Wed Oct 09 21:12:55 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Oct 09 21:18:37 GMT 2013 COMP Start Patrol Wed Oct 09 21:18:52 GMT 2013 KCOR End Patrol Wed Oct 09 21:23:53 GMT 2013 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Oct 09 21:33:35 GMT 2013 KCOR End Patrol Wed Oct 09 21:34:25 GMT 2013 COMP End Patrol Wed Oct 9 21:46:31 GMT 2013: PSPT Abort Patrol Wed Oct 9 21:46:35 GMT 2013: PSPT Abort Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Oct 9 21:47:32 GMT 2013 Domes closed due to low clouds ___end___ **PSPT PROBLEM COMMENT BY berkey** : Wed Oct 9 23:56:42 GMT 2013 Pspt dome shutter was making a bit of noise recently, today it got extra bad. On inspection I found that one of the shutter boggies "blew" up and was in 4 large peices + a bunch of ball berings. Bogie was replaced and some of the track was greased. Waiting for a two person day to get to some of the more difficult places. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Oct 10 00:16:47 GMT 2013 Pretty foggy now. ___end___
