02:22:45Low altitude puffy clouds in the path, should drift past 1450EG
L20060213_00103:42:12have been seeing some good data for the past hour7100EG
L20060213_00305:11:29just recovered from a data acq crash.6950EG
L20060213_00305:46:14currenlty observing dye waveleght at 589.162nm.6640EG
starting to tune down to new peek density wavelength of
589.160nm as observed recently. expecting sodium
density to increase a bit. (wavelength had drifted since start)
L20060213_00305:50:09waitng a while before checking dye laser energy.6580EG

L20060213_00306:02:19done converging, hope I did not mess things up. No signal 6160EG
