There appears to be windows of "Blue" sky between the clouds which I have tried to observe through, but no sooner do I get the instruments observing than the clouds begin to enter the viewing area and I need to stop the instruments. I'll continue to try and observe in the Blue windows but it may prove to be futile. ___end___ Fri Jun 10 20:30:53 GMT 2022 UCoMP Restarted from pause Fri Jun 10 20:44:15 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal_flat.cbk line 0 GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Fri Jun 10 20:44:32 GMT 2022 There is a very bright "Lobe" protruding out from the occulter shadow at approximately 70 deg PA. This lobe is easily identified in both the Kcor NRGF and Diff images and has been there since first thing this morning. I am holding off on the Kcor calibration for now to see if the lobe turns into a CME. ___end___ Fri Jun 10 20:59:25 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook waves_1074_1hour.cbk line 0 WEATHER COMMENT: mcotter: Fri Jun 10 21:44:50 GMT 2022 The Cirrus clouds that were present earlier have dissipated and the instrument are observing. ___end___ Fri Jun 10 22:09:14 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 Fri Jun 10 22:37:32 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal_flat.cbk line 0 Fri Jun 10 22:52:42 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 Fri Jun 10 23:20:39 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 Fri Jun 10 23:48:18 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 Sat Jun 11 00:15:54 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal_flat.cbk line 0 Sat Jun 11 00:31:05 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 Sat Jun 11 00:58:50 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 Sat Jun 11 01:26:18 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 Sat Jun 11 01:53:47 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal_flat.cbk line 0 Sat Jun 11 02:08:58 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 Sat Jun 11 02:36:45 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 Sat Jun 11 03:04:14 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 WEATHER COMMENT: mcotter: Sat Jun 11 03:17:24 GMT 2022 Mostly clear day except for a brief period in the mid to late morning when Cirrus clouds moved through the viewing area. Aerosols picked up in the early afternoon and appeared to be heavy at times, though the Kcor synoptic images looked good. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: mcotter
