----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Jul 5 15:44:15 GMT 2017 Year: 17 Doy: 186 Observer: waters WEATHER COMMENT: waters: Wed Jul 05 16:12:20 GMT 2017 Temp 41F with windspeed at about 9-15mph from the Southeast. Sky looks clear, although there might be some vog in the air. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Wed Jul 05 16:56:36 GMT 2017 The RA and DEC were out of sync this morning. The dec would oscillate every couple of seconds then phase back in, then oscillate again and evenutally the oscillation would get bigger. When I waas able to stop the oscillation of the dec, the ra would start up. But it would dampen and the dec would oscillate again. It looks like the last attempt to straighten it back out has worked but I will keep and eye on it. ___end___ Wed Jul 05 16:59:17 GMT 2017 SGS Alignment complete Wed Jul 05 16:57:52 GMT 2017 CoMP occulter has been re-centered Wed Jul 05 16:58:34 GMT 2017 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited Wed Jul 05 16:59:22 GMT 2017 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: synoptic-00010.cbk Wed Jul 05 17:01:38 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol KCOR COMMENT BY waters: Wed Jul 05 17:02:22 GMT 2017 Blew off the KCor O1 before start up. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Wed Jul 05 19:08:25 GMT 2017 Wind has increased now; it's between 15-20mph.

We'll see if that helps. ___end___ Wed Jul 05 19:41:10 GMT 2017 COMP End Patrol Wed Jul 05 19:42:01 GMT 2017 CoMP occulter has been re-centered Wed Jul 05 19:42:36 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol Wed Jul 05 19:45:46 GMT 2017 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: waves-00001.cbk GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Wed Jul 05 19:46:13 GMT 2017 Took the time to blow off the KCor O1 during the occulter move. ___end___ Wed Jul 05 19:47:10 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Wed Jul 05 19:53:07 GMT 2017 Looks like the wind had gusted up enough to show in the data before I put the shutter up. At 19:32-35, you can see it show up. We're getting occasional gusts at about 25mph from the East but raising the lower shutter has helped quite a bit. Keeping a close eye on the wind still. ___end___ Wed Jul 05 19:59:02 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol Wed Jul 05 19:59:03 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20150323.ini Wed Jul 05 20:14:25 GMT 2017 KCOR End Calibration Script Wed Jul 05 20:14:43 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Jul 05 20:14:44 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Jul 05 21:18:17 GMT 2017 COMP End Patrol Wed Jul 05 21:19:20 GMT 2017 CoMP occulter has been re-centered Wed Jul 05 21:19:22 GMT 2017 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: synoptic-00010.cbk Wed Jul 05 22:20:41 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol Wed Jul 05 22:21:27 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Wed Jul 05 22:22:55 GMT 2017 SGS Alignment complete Thu Jul 06 00:01:18 GMT 2017 COMP End Patrol Thu Jul 06 00:01:52 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol Thu Jul 06 00:04:40 GMT 2017 SGS Alignment complete Thu Jul 06 00:03:23 GMT 2017 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol Thu Jul 06 00:03:39 GMT 2017 CoMP occulter has been re-centered Thu Jul 06 00:03:41 GMT 2017 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: waves-00001.cbk Thu Jul 06 01:35:47 GMT 2017 COMP End Patrol Thu Jul 06 01:35:48 GMT 2017 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: synoptic-00010.cbk Thu Jul 06 03:52:02 GMT 2017 KCOR End Patrol Thu Jul 06 03:52:25 GMT 2017 COMP End Patrol GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Thu Jul 06 03:58:16 GMT 2017 Aerosols showed up in the afternoon but otherwise a wonderful day to take data. ___end___
