The Kcor Diff images show coronal loops fluctuating at PA 110 degs with possible breaking of the loops. The Kcor NRGF images are faint and do not point to any obvious CME activity. ___end___ Mon Sep 19 21:16:52 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 706_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Mon Sep 19 21:20:15 GMT 2022 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20171025.ini Mon Sep 19 21:20:56 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 789_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Mon Sep 19 21:25:00 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 1074_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Mon Sep 19 21:29:04 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 1079_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Mon Sep 19 21:33:17 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 Mon Sep 19 21:35:30 GMT 2022 KCOR End Calibration Script Mon Sep 19 21:35:50 GMT 2022 UCoMP Paused for clouds Mon Sep 19 21:37:10 GMT 2022 UCoMP Restarted from pause Mon Sep 19 21:37:36 GMT 2022 UCoMP Paused for clouds Mon Sep 19 21:42:28 GMT 2022 UCoMP Restarted from pause Mon Sep 19 21:49:40 GMT 2022 UCoMP Paused for clouds WEATHER COMMENT: mcotter: Mon Sep 19 21:49:57 GMT 2022 Orographic clouds have moved into the science area from the Northwest and are also forming and dissipating in the viewing area. Additionally, the sky has had a thin layer of high altitude Cirrus prevalent throughout the morning which has passed through the viewing area at various times. The instruments have been paused and restarted several times this morning due to these anomalies. ___end___ Mon Sep 19 21:57:21 GMT 2022 UCoMP Restarted from pause Mon Sep 19 22:00:19 GMT 2022 UCoMP Paused for clouds Mon Sep 19 22:14:28 GMT 2022 UCoMP Restarted from pause Mon Sep 19 22:32:56 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 17 Mon Sep 19 22:40:46 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal_flat.cbk line 0 Mon Sep 19 22:50:19 GMT 2022 UCoMP Paused for clouds Mon Sep 19 22:58:58 GMT 2022 UCoMP Restarted from pause Mon Sep 19 22:59:49 GMT 2022 UCoMP Paused for clouds Mon Sep 19 23:08:25 GMT 2022 UCoMP Restarted from pause Mon Sep 19 23:18:17 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 Mon Sep 19 23:26:13 GMT 2022 UCoMP Paused for clouds Mon Sep 19 23:55:49 GMT 2022 UCoMP Restarted from pause Tue Sep 20 00:19:23 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 17 Tue Sep 20 00:27:13 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 Tue Sep 20 00:29:09 GMT 2022 UCoMP Paused for clouds Tue Sep 20 00:33:07 GMT 2022 UCoMP Restarted from pause Tue Sep 20 00:36:50 GMT 2022 UCoMP Paused for clouds Tue Sep 20 00:39:35 GMT 2022 UCoMP Restarted from pause Tue Sep 20 00:50:36 GMT 2022 UCoMP Paused for clouds Tue Sep 20 01:15:09 GMT 2022 UCoMP Restarted from pause GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Tue Sep 20 01:19:28 GMT 2022 The day started clear but by late morning Orographic clouds began to enter the science area with clouds forming and dissipating in the viewing area. The instruments were repeatedly paused and restarted as the sky provided windows of blue sky to observe through, but finally the clouds became prevalent and increased aerosols necessitated the stopping of the instruments for the day. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Tue Sep 20 02:45:17 GMT 2022 An excessive amount of oscillation was noticed in the RA amp traces (this happened approximately 2:00pm HST). The RA Mechanism clutch was tightened up. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey, mcotter
