SDI data show weak confused winds at and 
after magnetic midnight (no sign of the 
usual cross-polar jet).  There is no 
obvious reason to suspect the observations 
are incorrect, however.  I plotted the 
individual spectra with SDI_XYPL.PRO and 
they all look good.  Lots of moonlight 
background early in the night, but by 
magnetic midnight the signal was strong 
and the background was down.  (A similar 
result was obtained on March 02.)
