----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Dec 5 16:48:53 GMT 2018 Year: 18 Doy: 339 Observer: waters WEATHER COMMENT: waters: Wed Dec 05 17:13:44 GMT 2018 Temp 38F with windspeed at about 18-24mph from the South-Southeast. Wind may be higher than what we are seeing as the anemometer is being blocked by our building. Sky looks clear at present. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: waters: Wed Dec 05 17:39:19 GMT 2018 Waiting for the wind to calm down a bit before opening the dome. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Dec 05 18:05:22 GMT 2018 For a test to see how the kcor summed fits images look with and without the Lookup tables applied. A new version of socketcam was built called socketcam-no-lut.exe which sets #undef DO_LUT0 #undef DO_LUT1 set. Unfortunately during the compiling of the no LUT version it looks like we briefly overwork the operational socketcam.exe with a debug version :(. But this has been reverted back to the proper the July, 10 2015 version of socketcam. In Labview land we made a couple changes to the fits header to better help track which socket cam version we are running. A new keyword SOCKETCA was also created which now contains the file name of the socketcam executable used to take data. So for now this should either be socketcam.exe or socketcam-no-lut.exe The old OBSSWID keyword which was hard coded to 1.0.6 (for some reason which I forget) now has the date modified for socketcam. So until socketcam is recompiled this shoudl be 7/10/2015 10:42:13 AM for socketcam and 12/4/2018 6:04:26 PM for socketcam-no-lut.exe ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY waters: Wed Dec 05 18:22:33 GMT 2018 Dome opened but still a little so we are taking some darks and flats for the Lookup table test. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Wed Dec 05 18:43:59 GMT 2018 Starting with no lut socket cam.
