I have disabled the email function in the protection VI. ___end___ CoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jan 15 17:54:07 GMT 2014 Running warm does not seem to have lead to major issues with the array. In the center occulter.vi the dark and coronal images look nonimal. ___end___ Wed Jan 15 17:58:48 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jan 15 17:57:47 GMT 2014 Alice made socketcam changes this morning. ___end___ Wed Jan 15 18:14:39 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Wed Jan 15 18:24:02 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Wed Jan 15 18:26:34 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol CoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jan 15 18:38:07 GMT 2014 I think CoMP started to warm up at about Midnight HST that is when the rockwell-temp-record started to show a rise in temp, and subsquently stopped updating. ___end___ Wed Jan 15 18:49:08 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jan 15 18:48:09 GMT 2014 Images look out of focus and I just noticed we are a few mm for yesterdays focus re-checking O1 focus. ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jan 15 19:07:18 GMT 2014 Auto-focus seems to be giving inconsinstant and wrong results. Focused by hand for now to get back to observing. ___end___ Wed Jan 15 19:14:24 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Jan 15 20:00:44 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol Wed Jan 15 20:00:45 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg.ini Wed Jan 15 20:16:41 GMT 2014 KCOR End Calibration Script Wed Jan 15 20:16:58 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Jan 15 20:16:58 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Jan 15 20:17:59 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Wed Jan 15 20:18:07 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Wed Jan 15 20:22:07 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol Wed Jan 15 20:21:57 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Wed Jan 15 20:25:08 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Jan 15 20:24:26 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jan 15 20:24:13 GMT 2014 SGS realigned ___end___ Wed Jan 15 22:17:03 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Wed Jan 15 22:17:02 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Jan 15 22:40:14 GMT 2014 It looks like there is optical blooming in the raw kcor images. For cam0 this appears this happens on the right hand side of the image, and this occours on the left hand side of cam1. It also appears in all 4 modulation states. ___end___ Thu Jan 16 00:09:59 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Thu Jan 16 00:10:01 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Thu Jan 16 00:16:40 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Thu Jan 16 00:17:32 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol Thu Jan 16 00:33:51 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Jan 16 00:34:10 GMT 2014 Clouds passed by, used this chance to realign SGS and check kcor focus code. Comp had drived slightly horizontally w.r.t kcor ___end___ KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Jan 16 00:41:07 GMT 2014 Changed the O1 auto-focus algorithm to use image intensity isntead of sharpness, and created another fit focus sub vi to implement the parabolic fit. The camera auto focus uses only a subset of the total scan range near the sharpest pixel, this will not work for the O1 with its large flat section when the sun is behind the occulter. ___end___ Thu Jan 16 00:54:29 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Jan 16 01:05:16 GMT 2014 Closing main dome for clouds ___end___ Thu Jan 16 01:56:11 GMT 2014 COMP Start Patrol Thu Jan 16 02:02:28 GMT 2014 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu Jan 16 03:36:44 GMT 2014 COMP End Patrol Thu Jan 16 03:37:37 GMT 2014 KCOR End Patrol Thu Jan 16 03:37:27 GMT 2014: PSPT Abort Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Jan 16 03:41:36 GMT 2014 Got an MLO tour from John Barns, nice to know a little more about the neigbors. ___end___
