Date: 2019 Jun 19 UTC Observers: Pogge, Trim TO: David Gonzalez SA: Olga Kuhn Moon phase: dark Summary: Hybrid-remote observing from Tucson, setup telescope for LBC. Once again there was much smoke from the Bighorn fire near Tucson. We were never were out of the smoke, it was highly variable and we were never were able to open. Did LBC and remaining MODS calibrations. Once again, Columbus observing assistant Trim slept on the couch or walked on the keyboard. I question his committment to becoming an observer. Calibrations: LBC bias, camera debris checks (images with chamber lights) MODS finished other three OSU_IDF_MODS mask calibrations, all done Completed Programs: None Details (All times UT): ---------------------------------- 03:00 - Still getting smoke from the Bighorn fire, plume is sharp-edged on the satellite before sunset. Watching the new particle meter feed plus people on the ground Taking BinoBias25 and some images with chamber lights on for filter/lens debris checks while we wait for twilight and smoke to abate 10:30 - Never opened, smoke all night, visible in flashlight beams, present in the new particle monitor, and smelled by on-site staff. 0 for 2, 3 to go.
