----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon May 16 16:36:38 GMT 2016 Year: 16 Doy: 137 Observer: berkey WEATHER COMMENT: berkey: Mon May 16 16:36:53 GMT 2016 Temp: 47.1f, Humidity: 31%, Pressure: 28.68in, Wind: 3mph from 210degs, Skies: A little hazy with patchy cirrus thoughout the sky ___end___ CoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Mon May 16 16:41:38 GMT 2016 Looks like the CoMP O1 homed it self sometime between our work on Friday and begining of day Sunday. The optical issues Greg was seeing yesterday were caused by this. We had been reporting the O1 postion in the fits header and too the main observing screen. But this morning I added some logic to move the O1 to 32mm (the focus position we found during the foucs test last week) during the labview system initalization. ___end___ Mon May 16 16:45:55 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: synoptic-00002.cbk Mon May 16 16:57:54 GMT 2016 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Mon May 16 17:24:06 GMT 2016 CoMP Paused for clouds Mon May 16 17:24:08 GMT 2016 KCOR End Patrol Mon May 16 17:29:31 GMT 2016 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Mon May 16 17:29:37 GMT 2016 CoMP Restarted from pause KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Mon May 16 17:30:39 GMT 2016 Blew off kcor field lens to try and address the spots seen in the south of the image. I assume the elevated number of spots is related to turning the closed loop hepa back on after a few weeks of leaving it off. ___end___ CoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Mon May 16 17:34:55 GMT 2016 Seeing a bring spot on the edge of the CoMP feild stop. We may have nicked some the edge during our occulter mods Friday. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Mon May 16 19:21:17 GMT 2016 We are about to take a series of CoMP flats and polarzation calibrations sequences which will involve pulling the comp optics box cover on and off and the removal and installation of various optical elements. Kcor will be run during this sequence; but there will likely be some image quaily issues while these actions take place. ___end___ Mon May 16 19:25:04 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 19:25:05 GMT 2016 KCOR End Patrol Mon May 16 19:27:51 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: cal_clear.cbk Mon May 16 19:30:48 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 19:31:00 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: cal_clear.cbk Mon May 16 19:38:05 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 19:38:06 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: cal_clear.cbk Mon May 16 19:40:22 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 19:40:23 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: pol_in.cbk Mon May 16 19:44:25 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 19:44:25 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: cal_pol.cbk Mon May 16 20:08:40 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 20:08:40 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: ret_in.cbk Mon May 16 20:12:07 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 20:12:08 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: cal_pol_ret.cbk Mon May 16 20:36:21 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 20:36:21 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: ret_out.cbk Mon May 16 20:37:39 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 20:37:39 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: cal_pol.cbk Mon May 16 21:01:54 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 21:01:55 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: pol_out.cbk Mon May 16 21:06:34 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 21:06:34 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: cal_clear.cbk Mon May 16 21:13:44 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 21:13:44 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: cal_clear.cbk Mon May 16 21:20:54 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 21:20:54 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: pol_in.cbk Mon May 16 21:24:33 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 21:24:33 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: cal_pol.cbk Mon May 16 21:25:28 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol CoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Mon May 16 21:26:29 GMT 2016 Done with calpol/retarder test. ___end___ CoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Mon May 16 21:26:47 GMT 2016 Starting ND flats ___end___ Mon May 16 21:27:13 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: occulter-out.cbk Mon May 16 21:29:11 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 21:29:11 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: occulter-out.cbk Mon May 16 21:29:24 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 21:29:24 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: nd_all.cbk Mon May 16 21:47:25 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 21:47:25 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: occulter-in.cbk Mon May 16 21:51:31 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 21:56:04 GMT 2016 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Mon May 16 21:58:07 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: synoptic-00002.cbk Mon May 16 21:59:02 GMT 2016 COMP End Patrol Mon May 16 21:59:02 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: waves-00001.cbk Mon May 16 22:04:35 GMT 2016 KCOR End Patrol Mon May 16 22:04:36 GMT 2016 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20150323.ini Mon May 16 22:21:54 GMT 2016 KCOR End Calibration Script Mon May 16 22:22:11 GMT 2016 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Mon May 16 22:22:11 GMT 2016 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Mon May 16 22:40:32 GMT 2016 Starting to get some cloud near the sun.
