----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Apr 5 15:42:33 GMT 2017 Year: 17 Doy: 095 Observer: berkey KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Apr 05 16:18:40 GMT 2017 Did a beam train inspection to try and trace down the source of the bright west limb feature which increasingly seems instrumental. Inspection didn't show anything obvious. While the instrument was apart the field lens was air cleaned, to blow off a few small dust particles. ___end___ Wed Apr 05 17:12:24 GMT 2017 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited WEATHER COMMENT: berkey: Wed Apr 05 17:27:32 GMT 2017 Temp: 51.1f, Humidity: 11%, Pressure: 28.697in, Wind: 12mph from 133degs, Skies: mostly clear with light haze. ___end___ Wed Apr 05 17:31:46 GMT 2017 CoMP occulter has been re-centered Wed Apr 05 17:32:05 GMT 2017 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Wed Apr 05 17:33:17 GMT 2017 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: synoptic-00010.cbk Wed Apr 05 17:48:35 GMT 2017 SGS Alignment complete KCOR COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Apr 05 18:04:25 GMT 2017 Kcor quick look images look soft. The O1 is at this nonimnal focus, perhaps the field lens is not well seated after the inspection. ___end___ Wed Apr 05 18:24:33 GMT 2017 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Apr 05 18:32:55 GMT 2017 Trying a different kcor O1 focus position. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Apr 05 18:41:35 GMT 2017 Focus still seems a bit soft. ___end___ Wed Apr 05 20:06:41 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Apr 05 20:06:42 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol Wed Apr 05 20:06:43 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20150323.ini Wed Apr 05 20:15:06 GMT 2017 COMP End Patrol Wed Apr 05 20:15:07 GMT 2017 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: waves-00001.cbk Wed Apr 05 20:22:03 GMT 2017 KCOR End Calibration Script Wed Apr 05 20:22:21 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Apr 05 20:22:22 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Apr 05 20:59:00 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol Wed Apr 05 20:59:58 GMT 2017 SGS Alignment complete Wed Apr 05 20:59:37 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Apr 05 21:33:09 GMT 2017 Tried using the lower shutter as a wind sheild and found the lower shutter un-opperable. After a bit of trouble shooting I found that some of the nuts that hold the slip-ring contact towers had become loose. Tighting them allowed the shutter operate again. ___end___ Wed Apr 05 21:47:42 GMT 2017 COMP End Patrol Wed Apr 05 21:47:43 GMT 2017 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: synoptic-00010.cbk Wed Apr 05 23:10:19 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol Wed Apr 05 23:11:26 GMT 2017 COMP End Patrol Wed Apr 05 23:13:50 GMT 2017 SGS Alignment complete Wed Apr 05 23:13:46 GMT 2017 CoMP occulter has been re-centered Wed Apr 05 23:15:17 GMT 2017 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: synoptic-00010.cbk Wed Apr 05 23:16:11 GMT 2017 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Wed Apr 05 23:19:34 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu Apr 06 01:56:56 GMT 2017 COMP End Patrol Thu Apr 06 01:56:56 GMT 2017 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: waves-00001.cbk Thu Apr 06 02:31:42 GMT 2017 COMP End Patrol Thu Apr 06 02:32:31 GMT 2017 CoMP occulter has been re-centered CoMP COMMENT BY berkey: Thu Apr 06 02:40:50 GMT 2017 Ran CoMP until the occulter could no longer be aligned. ___end___ Thu Apr 06 03:20:06 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol
