This CME event was already in progress when the instruments started observing this morning. So far only a few frames of the Kcor NRGF have become available, so this is early reporting. ___end___ Tue Sep 20 18:08:17 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 Tue Sep 20 18:46:28 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 Tue Sep 20 19:24:28 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal_flat.cbk line 0 Tue Sep 20 19:45:02 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook waves_1074_1hour.cbk line 0 Tue Sep 20 20:53:33 GMT 2022 KCOR Start Calibration script: c:\kcor\mlso-calibration22deg-20171025.ini Tue Sep 20 20:54:45 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook waves_1074_1hour.cbk line 125 Tue Sep 20 20:56:18 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook dark_80ms_2beam_16sums_BOTH.cbk line 0 Tue Sep 20 20:57:35 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 637_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Tue Sep 20 21:01:39 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 706_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Tue Sep 20 21:05:43 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 789_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 ****Possible CME in Progress reported by mcotter**** : Tue Sep 20 21:07:24 GMT 2022 TIME: 19:20:04 UT PA: 250 degs WIDTH: 50 degs Observers report with Medium confidence a CME at the time, position angle, and width noted. This CME event was first identified in the Kcor Diff images then afterwards identified in the Kcor NRGF images. The CME appears faint in the Kcor NRGF images and it is fast moving so repeated viewing was required to adequately observe it. ___end___ Tue Sep 20 21:08:48 GMT 2022 KCOR End Calibration Script Tue Sep 20 21:09:48 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 1074_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Tue Sep 20 21:14:01 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook 1079_Pol_Calibrate.cbk line 0 Tue Sep 20 21:18:05 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 Tue Sep 20 22:04:11 GMT 2022 Kcor Focus/alignment program exited GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Tue Sep 20 22:05:34 GMT 2022 Worked with UH and NCAR networking groups to increase packet size across our networks. Seems successful. Plan to try moving mlso data travel to the tunnel next week thursday. Note we did have a brief network dropout during this work due to router rebooting. ___end___ Wed Sep 21 00:07:22 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 UCoMP COMMENT BY mcotter: Wed Sep 21 00:07:29 GMT 2022 PM Washed UCoMP O1.

Rinsed with water and lightly cleaned with soap and water. Initial images from NRGF show a slight fringing pattern earlier this morning that are not present post cleaning. The Kcor 01 was cleaned independently by Marc with very little assistance from Ben. ___end___ Wed Sep 21 02:42:22 GMT 2022 Running UCOMP Cookbook all_wavelength_coronal.cbk line 0 ****EVENT COMMENT BY mcotter**** : Wed Sep 21 03:13:46 GMT 2022 Today's data showed a lot of activity in the PA 90 deg vicinity. Large looping twisting images can be observed throughout the day. ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY mcotter: Wed Sep 21 03:15:18 GMT 2022 Excellent day of observing. Low aerosols all day with no clouds made for a lot of good data with a couple of CME's reported. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey, mcotter
