L991001021:30:45Start of experiment0KR
L991001022:07:51Quite a lot of haze.0KR
L991001022:08:05Running without Dye beam expander again.1530KR
L991001022:09:10Can't get a reading on wavemeter, have no clue what 2120KR
wavelength we're running at except to say it is orange.
L991001022:16:10Rayleigh Convergence mirror adjusted, Sodium Convergence1010KR
mirror adjusted, Rayleigh HG adjusted
L991001022:19:59Just realized the telescope cover was only halfway open, fully1380KR
opened it.
L991001022:24:33Rayleigh, Sodium Convergence mirrors adjusted36920KR
L991001022:27:19Eggert said Na wavelength setpoint should be 589.018 nm, it0KR
was 589.222 nm, so we were way off
L991001122:29:15Incremented filenumber, since there's been no good data so far40220KR
L991001122:48:06Seeing some Na. If haze clears out, I may be able to tune off43790KR
the layer, since the wavemeter still gives nothing.
L991001123:50:13Clouds getting pretty thick, I can still see some stars and the180KR
aurora though, so I'll hold out for a tad longer.
