---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===---

        Attempting not to get blown away.

---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===---

Night lost to wind and snow.  And it's nearly -16C outside!!

Bypassed the compressor dryer, see log for details.

We got a couple inches of snow during the night.

One neon lamp is being flakey.  Can someone please check it?  Log for details.

  e) sop doCalibs 
  f) declared calibs as test

23:47Z   Telescope checked out fine.  Turned it back off for the night.  While 
         down there, power flickered off.  Also, one Ne lamp is being flakey.  
         It was checked earlier, and cals were taken.  But it refused to turn  
         on shortly after.  It's the side by the laptop, on top (3?).  This    
         also happened last night, but we hoped it was a one-off thing.  There 
         is also ALOT of snow in the enclosure, and it's very slippery behind  
         the telescope.



Night:
------

00:13Z   Bypassed the compressor dryer immediately inside the room.  The alarm 
         was going off again.  Hope this helps!

10:37Z   Weather is still terrible!  Windy, humid, and -16C.  That's -25 with  
         windchill!!
 
11:31Z   Power flicker

11:33Z   endNight finished, and there was much rejoicing.  Yay.
