The winds are primarily from the southeast and have been holding the clouds at bay for the greater part of the afternoon, but unfortunately as the Sun continues to go down they will enter our viewing area if they do not disperse. Overall the weather has been beautiful today and warmer than recent days. Perhaps it will be an early spring here in the Hawaiian Islands! ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Sun Feb 27 03:26:16 GMT 2022 The domes automatic advancement has been disabled at this time. ___end___ Sun Feb 27 03:29:07 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelenght_coronal.cbk line 0 GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Sun Feb 27 03:32:44 GMT 2022 The tack mats in the dome vestibule and clean room have been changed.
