----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Jul 3 16:12:19 GMT 2016 Year: 16 Doy: 185 Observer: waters WEATHER COMMENT: waters: Sun Jul 3 16:12:23 GMT 2016 Temp 48F with windspeed at about 12-17 mph with occasionaly gusts up tp 21mph frrom the South-Southeast. Building might be blocking some of the wind, so the anemometer we get our readings might not be accurate. Some cirrus to the North but otherwise a baeutiful morning for data collection. ___end___ GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sun Jul 3 16:31:45 GMT 2016 We have a bit of a problem with the dome. I'm not sure if it's due to the wind pushing against the weather striping or the dome itself but the dome seems to be catching on something in two spots when the dome is rotated cw. It rotates without a hitch ccw and it will rotate cw for most of the time but right below the bottom shutter (shutter opening facing West), the rotator will start skipping and won't move. When the shutter is facing the East and it tries to go cw, the rotator will skip and the dome won't rotate. Not too sure what is happening, but will keep an eye on it. ___end___ Sun Jul 03 16:56:38 GMT 2016 SGS Alignment complete Sun Jul 03 17:00:56 GMT 2016 COMP Start Patrol on cookbook: synoptic-00007.cbk Sun Jul 03 17:03:09 GMT 2016 KCOR Start Synoptic Patrol GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sun Jul 3 17:20:36 GMT 2016 There is currently a film crew up here doing 360 camera shooting of the weather station and MLSO.

I'll do another full check before I leave to see if it's still getting hung up with the wind calmed down. ___end___ Sun Jul 03 20:24:57 GMT 2016 SGS Alignment complete Sun Jul 03 20:59:59 GMT 2016 KCOR End Patrol Sun Jul 03 21:00:22 GMT 2016 CoMP Paused for clouds GENERAL OBSERVATORY COMMENT BY waters: Sun Jul 3 21:00:12 GMT 2016 Some cirrus has come up from the Northwest.
