Year = 1998 Month = October Day = 24 Day-of-year = 297 Site = Poker Flat Sunrise = 17:13 Sunset = 01:55 Moonrise = 22:01 Moonset = 03:33 Moon_age = 3 Aurora = Disturbed - Arcs reached the zenith at least once Cloud = Variable, but generally poor Magnetometer = Disturbed ASC = Long moondown, ran OK MSP = No data, did not run VHF_radar = Good data coverage for the entire 24 hours Electrojet = Unknown SDI = Ran all night, good data Bomem = No data MSG = No data Trailer = No data UW_FPI = Unknown CRL_NF_FPI = Unknown CRL_AS_FPI = Unknown Stratosperic_lidar = No data Rayleigh_lidar = No data Resonance_lidar = No data Ebert = No data Comments = Mostly cloudy, but cloud was thin. ASC saw arcs through it at times. This was the first night of fully unattended SDI operation with the new detector. Exposure time was 6 minutes - perhaps a little short for really quiet conditions. I will increase it to 8 minutes, at least until I get the video digitizer's auto-level control tuned better.
